Right now it's like this.

Good thing you got your coronta Ppe on.

Holy crap. Where are you?

Dammit man.

Be safe!

Western North Slope

6' drifts already in 11 hours. Supposed to be another day of this.

New experience for me. I've seen enough. We're about to abandon ship and shut er all down because we can't get the fuel trucks around to fuel... But, we'll hopefully be able to keep them running. Shift is over in a couple of hours.

That's no conditions to be working in.

Dang goggles are not with me tonight. Will be tomorrow!

What a mess.

Damn. Be safe

Have a great lead here and he got us in safe. Now we're just fighting it to make it easier on startup.

Pretty confident saying it is sustained 40-45 mph now...

This was predicted last weekend with amazing accuracy....

Thanksfor watching.

Appreciate it!

Damn, no wonder there's so much alcohol consumed there..............

I watch that and think of all the better place to be !

Just imagine years past. Looked like this yesterday afternoon (36 hours ago). Hey let's load up the sled, kids, wives, dogs, and go three days journey to visit uncle Tik.... Then get cought up in this chit.

Me too! LOL

You win the sucky job of the day contest. Stay warm and cover all your skin.

Build a fuggin' igloo!!

Thanks!

I'm grinning ear to ear.... Heck I'll get 8 straight and 5 OT hours for just sitting watching the wind blow. LOL

For sure. And hope the big white bear don't stumble into you! Tough country.

You're tougher than me. Be careful.

Hey Boomer, you wouldn’t think bad of me if I posted a pic of the gas fireplace kicking out heat, me and the missus are relaxing, the dogs are soaking up the heat, would you?

Heck no! Sounds pretty sweet.

Been up here since Christmas and it's been an adventure. This blow is a whole'nother level of real....

Not a moment of let up.

Please thank Dick, for the pics.

MB, you be safe.

It's implied.



Thanks you sir.

Wow! I don't know if I've ever been in something like that. Take care!!

Be safe...

Thanks The drifting that has already occurred is awesome. .


Thanks you. Made it to my bunk. Will see what this evening brings.


Enjoyed sharing with you folks down south....

Maga drill drill drill.

As long as the money is good and the heater works.
And they feed ya well.
Its worth it.
Cool pics!!!

'Boomer, stay safe man !

Yes. But you best believe those folks knew how to dig in, in a hurry.

Once upon a time, four friends and I tried to ski across the Sierras, on what's known as the "High Route". The first day in, in the morning it looked like your picture of 36 hours ago. Only nicer. Blue skies, zero clouds, too damned hot to be wearing anything more than the inner layer. 5 hours later we were holed up in a snow cave. The winds were so high that we were constantly getting knocked over by them. If a bunch of tenderfoot white boys can do it, ferdamsure the ole time Alaskan natives could.

At any rate, looks a bit brisk. Stay safe out there.

Well it least its not 95 degrees and humid. K, scratch that you'd prolly appreciate that right about now
Stay with it Boom.. break up won't be far off and you can rest a bit and count your money.

Thanks guys. Still rockin'.

When you getting the hell out of hell?

Another Barrow flight canceled tonight.

Hopefully wife will get outta there in the am....

It’s springtime in Alaska!

Actually not a drop up there. Best way to get ur ass sent packing.

I miss the Arctic. Some days less than others.

Be careful out there.

Good stuff there 👍

Just got the word, headed out tomorrow as the weather allows! Try to make Anchorage Monday. We'll see, but, home asap....

We spent a few hours clearing snow this evening. Fortyish, or maybe fiftyish 30-yard+ loads off our camp pad. Amazing mess.

It's blowing again, about 20 mph now and snowing more... Hell of an adventure.


Cheers.
