Breaking News!!



We interrupt this regularly scheduled blog post to bring to you this update. The Death Claw, yes the Death Claw has been spotted at the South Pole. This Claw has been known to bring visibilities down to a quarter of a mile and wind speeds as high as 40 mph. The Death Claw has ruined a number of rescue flights to the South Pole, leaving our hearty Polies to fend for themselves for a couple of days. We can only pray that the perpetual winds and whiteouts have not robbed everyone of their sanity, especially the winterovers who were due to leave about a week ago. Snow drifts have been known to reach four feet high in narrow spaces. There is no escape! So please, take extra care. Bar your doors and steer clear of the clutches of the Death Claw!!

Okay, maybe not the best H.G. Wells impression, but an austral spring storm the likes of which that hasn't been around for about 20 years needs to exaggerated...uh, I mean explained. At least we have blue skies for now and things are getting back to normal after a hectic first part of the week.
