9 Feb 2013  56333.0  0.03  01:53 12:42  04:11 15:02  BOSS  10.8 hours
---- Observing Summary ----
Lost the entire night due to high humidity and low dewpoint diff.  Temperature
went down to -11C.  Some high dust in the first half of the night.
Note to engineering crew:
We noticed some damage with the east door deadman switch. The black plastic
housing for the switch is cracked/dented.  The button still works and the door
can open/close, but someone needs to check it to see how bad the damage is.
Downstairs, the northwest louvers lever pivot bolt is coming loose and it is
hard to open those set of louvers.  We think the bolt just needs to be tightened?

Median spectrographs temperatures:
     Tsp1= 3.5,  Tsp2= 3.0;
     Outside air temperature= -3.2;
Afternoon checkout complete, telescope is ready to observe.
----- Night -----
Ventilation delayed due to very high winds (45mph), very high dust counts (24k),
heavy cloud coverage and nearby radar returns.
02:54Z Still high dust count, and now humidity is rising.  Temp is -9.0C.
       Taking arc and flat BOSS calibs.  We wait.
03:05Z  Start ventilation.  Dust count lowered.  Humidity is in yellow warning.
We noticed the east roll up door's yellow deadman switch had some damage.  The
black plastic housing around it has been cracked. The button still works - door
will open and close, but someone needs to take a look at it and make sure
nothing inside the housing or the button is broken.
In downstairs enclosure, at the northwest louvers, the lever pivot bolt is
coming off and it is hard to open those set of louvers.  The bolt just needs
tightening.
04:25Z - We find frost on the cars - stopping ventilation.  Humidity is now 78%.
05:45Z - Humidity and Dewpoint diff are red.  Wind gusts have risen.  We wait.
08:50Z - Humidity, Dewpoint are Red; Temp at -10.3C.  We wait.
09:15Z - Rain sensor went off.  Light snow.
10:30Z - Calling it a night.  Temp is -11C; humidity and dewpoint remain in red
warning.
10:45Z - APOGEE and BOSS morning cals are run.  APOGEE auto-scheduler has been run.
