Do you receive any Federal funding ?? If you do be sure you will be sued by an atheist and forced to take down the tree. Maybe if you call it a “secular humanist tree” you’ll be able to keep it……………..

Hello! I love the “tree” and have blogged about it at our site: http://www.littlehouseinthesuburbs.com/2008/12/green-christmas-tree-dilemma-10-common.html

I have included a link and a small image. Please let me know if you would prefer I do not and I will remove it. Thank you so much for showing these pictures and the story with it. That snowflake is amazing! Very best wishes and stay warm!

Hi– it’s great to hear that you’ve been keeping up with my dispatches on this site! I hope all of you are well.
Re: the temperature, it is very, very cold. Today it’s -41 F (-41 C), with a wind chill of -65 F (-54 C). Soon it will be too cold for planes to fly in and out of here, so we will be heading back to the States while a hardy group of winter-overs stay for the long months of cold and dark.
In the meantime, if you want an up-to-date account of current South Pole temperatures, you can check out NOAA’s weather website, which updates the current conditions hourly. You’ll find it at : http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/NZSP.html. Just don’t forget to come back for more updates and dispatches!

Kati – hey, greetings from your cousin Joe and family. Your mom told us about your work in SP. Very cool, the boys say. We’re going to look around the sight, but love the photos.
Christmas tree is very cool. Take care!

What’s the temp there??
