Condition 2
October 22nd, 2007 by Ken Mankoff
We have three weather states here: Condition 3 (normal), Condition 2 (right now) and Condition 1. For condition 1, nobody is allowed outside the building they are currently in. If the weather persists through a meal or sleep time, then the search and rescue team will set up ropes between buildings and escort people to the dining hall and back to the dorm rooms.
Here is a photo out my office window of the heli-pad. Compare and contrast to most of the other photos. It has been Condition 1 for the past 10 days, but today it is Condition 2.

Here is a video of Condition 1. I did not take this, nor have I experienced it yet, but I do hope we get a day or two of this while I'm down here.
