Some great news from Steve Squyres, via Space.com. As of this morning's radio communication with the Mars Rovers, we think the rovers rode out the worst of the storm.
Squyres said "They were both power positive over the weekend, meaning they were generating more power than they were consuming." This is great news and now that the storm is lessening, (though still quite bad,) hopefully the rovers can get back to their amazing investigations.

Indeed they are. The teams that designed, built, tested, and pushed these rovers all the way to the surface of Mars have certainly earned the right to claim one of greatest exploration missions in mankind's history.

Never doubted they would make it... Those Rovers are just an amazing piece of technology.
