(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Karen Gloria
The telescope was not opened tonight, due to ice/snow accumulation on
the roof.  The site received some freezing rain late Saturday night,
followed by 4.5 inches of wet snow.  As of late this afternoon there
was a 1/2 to 3/4 inch layer of ice covering the enclosure roof.
2nd half observing specialist: Russet McMillan
We remained closed for second half.  Toward dawn, the temperature rose
above freezing.  The day is predicted to be sunny, so hopefully the
ice will melt from the roof.
