    It took me two weeks to figure out how my story ended...:P so never fear, you'll figure it out eventually! Strange thing with NaNo is that you tend towards hating ...

In the winter months, gale storms in Svalbard can reach wind speeds of 130 km/h. Accompanied by or following snowfall, such storms can reduce visibility dramatically, more so in the winter months of the polar night. During these storms, travel is not advised.
