Storms seem to whip through here. This morning the weather was calm and mild at about -7C. By lunchtime, the winds were up to 50km/hr. Then we had snow blowing and the power went out! Aww joy. An hour or so later the wind was calm again and the temperature was up to -2C!!
Meanwhile the days are getting longer quickly. I created a makeshift blackout curtain for my bedroom this evening and also shifted my bed again so that I'm less likely to be awakened by the light in the morning. I didn't seem to have this trouble last summer when I moved here, but I guess the "gradual" progression into longer days is affecting me differently having had such short days not very long ago.
Hopefully I'll get some restorative sleep this weekend before the busy week ahead. Next week Iqaluit hosts the 2008 Nunavut Mining Symposium. The following week I'm heading to Baker Lake for some public meetings (provided bad weather doesn't prevent us from getting there). The week after that I'm attending a conference in Ottawa! Busy, busy, busy!!!

Gill,
To get better sleep when the sun is up, checkout http://www.blackoutez.com. They make a window cover that totally darkens the room. It is easy to use and works great.
