Back at ROK
We returned to the Rocket Lake site (ROK) to finish up the tree survey in the forest. We then moved to the forest/tundra section to measure and core the few trees there. The temperature was about 8 degrees Celsius (36 degrees F), but the wind was blowing steadily, gusting up to 74 km/hr. The wind was partially blocked when we were in the forest, and the sun was even shining briefly. However it was tough out in the tundra area, no sun and a very strong wind. We were all happy to come back in for lunch. We are going back out in 15 minutes and the sun just began to shine through the window - I hope the wind dies down!

It's cold here today too and there is a storm coming tonight.
Ms. McMinn, that's fantastic, not the wind though. Do your eyes hurt with the white snow reflecting the sun. it would be really funny to see someone wearing shades in super cold weather!!! :)
You aren't missing much here this morning...rain rain rain. The upside is that every ecosystem needs it! :-) Hang in there. You'll warm back up in Stamford!
Mr. Forde :-)
