Las: I hope conditions (motivations?) turn out better for you soon.
I to was amazed at the snow and wind conditions that the protesters in North Dakota are enduring of recent!
We had a half inch of snow here today but its not windy and kind of warmish.
Good luck when you get out next week.
I have only endured that "step-and-a-half tundra tussock" conditions a time or two and it is miserable (to say the least) to walk/Hunt on.
Be careful out there by yourself.
Hold into the wind
