Planet, Jupiter (?), shone brightly (128 in the west at 11 a., and another, Venus ?, at 1 p.m. and the moon is brilliant this evening. After a long halt in proceedings Nuan- fingwah and WiWi began again fixing up igloo under our living room for their occupancy. Captain helped, and seemed to be doing most if not all the carpentering ! He has made two breast buttons, Baffin Bay style, no style for the woman's large hood when she is carrying a child there and now Ahminal wants some so he is making her a pair of matted wool. 7 Nov.

Fifteen inches of the light stuff had fallen by 2 p.m. Fully 30 inches has fallen in the past two months. So thick all day that walking for pleasure was out of the question.
