Hut Point. Everything ready for starting this morning, but of course it ‘Blizzed.’
Weather impossible—much wind and drift from south. Wind turned to S.E. in afternoon—temperatures low.
Went for walk to Cape Armitage, but it is really very unpleasant.
The wind blowing round the Cape is absolutely blighting, force 7 and temperature below -30°. Sea a black cauldron covered with dark frost smoke. No ice can form in such weather.
