Oh, we thought they were done clearing snow. Guess not—look at all that accumulation still on the front deck of the IceCube Lab. A few hours later, though, and most of it is gone. Phew! The IceCube detector was quiet last week, but IceCube’s winterovers kept themselves busy. Besides shoveling snow, they replaced outdoor flags damaged over the winter, helped with various preparations for station opening, and (drum roll) launched weather balloons. This week we have a composite image of the launch, nice!
