TREC Virtual Base Camp _ Ask the Teacher (Maggie) or the Scientists (Al or Mike) _ Has Al's luck changed?

Hi Maggie!
Great journals and wonderful photos! So far your weather looks beautiful and I'm wondering if Al's luck has finally changed (for the better) and you will have a nice dry field season Let us hope!

Ok, I better nip this in the bud - this is the sort of thing that can stick with a person!!!

Actually, we wish for rain because we want to measure the system when it's really cranking. So bring it on!!

The group last year documented the sunny - warm part of the story!!

Best,

Al

Hi Janet - so far we have enjoyed very nice weather. We expect that to change or to at least experience some more variety of conditions. Al keeps telling us that it will change and as you can read he WANTS it to, so we are trying to stay ready for it by always packing several extra layers along with us in our packs. We use our rain gear already for wind and cold protection, as well as to protect us from splash from the lake as we travel by boat. We'll let you know if Al gets his wish!
