Recovery forces report plan is for a plan of helicopters for the balistic landing zone, in case it runs short, to depart an hour from now.
Forecast is for improving weather

Two choppers will head for the Ballistic Entry landing zone. The rest to the nominal landing zone, but departing to get there with just a few minutes to spare.

there is a comment that they may elect NOT to erect the normal tents on site, and just ferry the astronauts away due to the weather extremes at the landing site.

Sunrise (light of day) just a few moments ago at the landing site, with bitter cold & overcast skies.

Unlikely we'll see much of Soyuz under chute due to low cloud.

helicopters that were delayed earlier are airborne (2 hours flight time) and left a 5 min intervals, and are travelling below the clouds, so little chance of spotting a parachute landing as before.

A jet will be standing by to ferry Wiseman & Gerst away, stopping in Scotland, where Gerst will be met by ESA reps, with Wiseman travelling on to Houston.
