The BBC is reporting that Antarctic ships escape from ice trap as weather changes. Both the Akademik Shokalskiy and the Snow Dragon are moving after a wind shift broke a channel in the ice. The Russian captain anticipates that the Chinese ship will catch up and pass his vessel and provide a clearer path to the open ocean.
Locally, it got above freezing for about an hour today at about 3PM. It didn’t get above the former record low temperature for this date until noon. The new record is 18°. Mobile, Alabama has a new record of 14°.
Inside an igloo it is 32°. A single candle will raise the temperature 8°. All of my heaters only manage to raise the temperature in my house by 30°. The windchill is in single digits [the middle one].
