We did not open. Happy New Years! I did take the time to fix the nitrogen fill funnel for GRIM. :) The snow program was not run due to the fact that the snow was not blowing and was very wet. I did run heaters as ambient temps remained above freezing for most of the night and I left them on when I went home in hopes of melting accumulations if we had any sun the next day. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG/INST FAILURE MODE TIME S/E/G/D/O TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 29 25 12 225 (SW) 96 cloudy none 17:01 28 26 9 232 (SW) 75 cloudy snow 18:01 27 26 10 212 (SSW) 71 cloudy snow 19:01 26 26 11 267 (W) 13229 cloudy snow 20:01 26 26 5 270 (W) 32 cloudy snow 21:01 27 27 16 271 (W) 4739 cloudy snow 22:01 27 26 13 266 (W) 1366 cloudy snow 23:01 26 26 9 262 (W) 1302 foggy snow 00:01 26 25 13 244 (WSW) 2042 foggy snow 01:01 26 24 7 269 (W) 1014 foggy snow 02:01 25 24 1 2 (N) 7439 foggy snow note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
