(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was not opened tonight.  We had another night of snow on
the roof and poor weather.  It was very foggy all day, with sleet and
snow beginning to fall late in the afternoon.  There was about 1/2 to
1 inch accumulation of snow/slush on the enclosure roof just before
sunset.  The weather remained foggy all night with occasional
"sneet".  The temperature hovered around freezing, so I kept the roof
heaters running.
