Bad weather

The bad weather that chased us back home on the last journey has lasted all today. We have had to dig the doorway of the Weatherhaven several times and the door keeps getting stuck open with ice that we have to chip off regularly.

 

Clearing the doorway

 

Claire chipping the ice off above the tracks in the blizzard.  After a journey, the snow freezes to the underneath of the skidoo. This ice then breaks off and gets carried round on the tracks. Big bits last year bent the undercarriage, so we now have to regularly chip it off.

 

The toilet shed. A bit of a mission when the weather is bad.

 

In the middle of the day, the stove went out. This was potentially quite serious because with no heat, we had nowhere to live or cook as all the water would freeze. We checked the fuel flow though all the connections and eventually found a blocked central jet in the center of the stove. All fixed now and the heat is back on!
