But, it was still windy, and the previous day had thrown some serious snow drifts up on the road. We could not go out in the morning, but would reevaluate at around noon&mdash;after getting a chance to enjoy Sunday brunch.<\/p>\n<p>When reevaluation came, the weather had improved but the roads still sucked. Good enough for a team to get out to LDB, as long as they didn&#8217;t expect a shuttle to take them back to town at night. The team was Barth, Laura, Enzo, Mark, Matt, Jeff, and me. We did not get a shuttle back. Instead we got the computer back up and flight ready, got some noise and scan tests done, and got to test the emergency cots. They&#8217;re not so bad.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:
