DAY 20 (cont) - BLIZZARD: PHASE 3 SHUT DOWN




Well, its official we've got a Phase 3 shut down. No one's allowed out of the camp for non essential work. The whole camp is rattling with the wind now, and its sounds like someones got a sledge hammer and is battering away outside my wall (the shutters are a bit loose.) Snow is piling up at the windows and doors so much so that, we can barely see or get out. People are on full time duty digging out the emergency exits, we're getting so snowed in. (this makes it a little bit claustrophobic - could we actually just blow away?) but also exhilarating. Its best not to think about how all our lives are relying on a couple of tiniy generators - and god knows how much fuel they have !!!! cos nothing's coming in or out until this blizzard (80 mph + winds) stops.

Worse no supplies or medi vac either - not even a 12 hour rolligon to civilization. God knows how much food we have - but apparently, the blows never last more than 5 days. And we should be able to survive that.

If we do run out food I've decided to eat the night chef first - she looks quite tasty.

.....and still the wind howls.
