Woke up this morning to a world covered in ice. They put a little fine gravel on the roads but everywhere else was extremely treacherous. It rained off and on all day and is very windy. With the temperature dropping overnight, it will make for an interesting drive in the morning. Wouldn't you just know that Monday is not only the first day of the launch window but also the best weather in the foreseeable future. We'll get up that mountain, one way or another!
With icy walkways and high winds, I felt like an ice boat. The wind would just slide me right off the side of the walkway. Envied the natives with the ice cleats on their boots. I actually have some....at home. Right where I need them.
So, lots of last minute instructions and strategizing. We're about as ready as we can be. Hope we launch and get some excellent pictures!
