No need to get up too early as the sound of wind wakes me before 6am. It will be another day to catch up on work and make plans for the coming week. Blowing snow is reducing visibility to 2 km or less at times. This will give me an opportunity to test out my new mini-HD video equipment and send along some footage soon.
