Today was the first crispy new snow since arriving. While it stayed higher in the mountains, it did add a coolness to the air. It also coincided with the third day of works on the heating system in Nybyen – and by works, I mean the switching off of the heating system so repairs/upgrades could be made. Any residual heat in the pipes had long gone. No probs, it is all part of adventures in the arctic. And the fine people of Svalbardenergi made speedy repairs so the warmth returned by mid afternoon to help thaw frosty fingers and toes.
