Hi Amber!  Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you, lots of emails, as I'm sure you can see from the web site.  Things here are good.  The temp outside today is about -7 C.  Since there isn't really a day or night, the temps tend to stay fairly constant unless there is a storm in the area or the winds shift, which would indicate some type of weather system nearby.  We'll learn about that later.  We stay warm with lots of layers, and lots of blankets at night.  If we get too hot, we shed a layer, if we get too cold, we put more layers back on. No penguins yet.
