Went out to the airport today to do some maintenance on a big light we use to measure cloud heights. While I was there, the editor in charge of blogging(wife) suggested I go across the road to the GBO site. The GBO(Ground Based Observatory) is a project I look after for the University Of Calgary and NASA. That's right folks, that NASA. It's a project that is studying the northern lights. I look after one of 20 northern observatories. The money isn't great but having NASA on your resumè looks pretty good. Unfortunately, I didn't get anywhere near the GBO the snow was kinda deep in places. Melinda was amused. I was winded, apparently my quit-smoking-superpowers haven't kicked in yet.

Big light = ceiliometer. Been there, done that. I'm jealous of the snow.
Now that is a picture of alot of snow! The Nasa stuff is impressive!
Once again, Margaret, you've "stolen my thunder" Twice in one day! Sigh...
Neat job! Beats countin' beans, let me tell ya! Wanna trade?
I had to come back and revisit the snow pics. It looks like so much fun. We haven't had much snow in few years! Not since "White Juan". This year was a total bust winter wise.
Keep the pictures coming!
