Eun-Suk,
Right after I forwarded the e-mail, we had to evacuate the Willie Field due to a strong wind and ground snow blowing to the sky with a low visibility.
Now we are at the town and waiting for any further notice on the weather condition and possible return to the field.

This morning, the weather was not bad. But the wind is now getting stronger here at Willie Field. And I have attached the e-mail on the possible bad weather today.

Subject: Weather Conditions Today - Be Prepared
Greetings All,
McMurdo Weather is forecasting deteriorating weather conditions throughout today, tonight and into tomorrow. It is possible that we’ll have winds in town in the 40 knot plus range and above 50 knots out on the Ice. Visibility could drop to less than ½ mile and in some known problem areas be zero. Weather conditions could begin to change as early as noon time today. This morning, please take the time to secure loose items about town before the storm arrives and be alert to the current weather conditions. Be prepared for Weather Condition 1 announcements for the ice shelf and snow road closings. If the snow roads do close, please do not venture out on the snow roads again until they are reopened. Above all, stay safe and do not take on any risky activities. One of the greatest hazards from storms is blowing debris.
Stay Safe!
