Thinking positive here:

Assuming that Spirit makes it to SH spring. (my answered prayer)

With limited mobility, but plenty of power and a few working instruments
What work remains to be done in Meridiani and what are the priorities?

Return to homeplate/pitchers mound?
Slowly climb McCool?
Venture off into the unknown?

I figure we have a little more than 100 sols to plan.
Let the NASA engineers worry about EOM, while we plan for spring cleaning .

Yup - Comp Fluid Dynamics.

I'm not sure if CO2 type dust removal is more likely during the height of summer - but I think we can throw anything quantitaive out the window (i.e. X m/sec etc ) as we just do not know enough about how the mechanisms of dust removal work.

Qualitatively, we had huge dust removal when we were on the slopes of hills, during summer, on generally west facing slopes. Out best chance of more clenaing would surely be to replicate these conditions.
