(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was not opened tonight, due to a snowstorm.  After a
brief power outage at midnight, the site lost power again shortly
after 1 AM.  The site has been on generator power since then.
Accumulation is 10 inches of new snow, 18 inches total on the ground.
The task of snow removal is losing some of its lustre.
