I ran the snow program from the time it first started snowing.... better luck tomorrow. 2nd Half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan Windspeeds and humidity remained high until about 03:30, and when they dropped there was still just a little too much snow on the roof to permit opening. ------- 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 25 22 14 266 (W) 310 17:01 24 23 9 298 (WNW) 196 18:01 24 23 17 292 (WNW) 133 19:01 24 23 10 321 (NW) 215 20:01 22 21 10 350 (N) 0 21:01 20 19 32 354 (N) 2 22:01 19 18 20 357 (N) 5 ptly cldy bl.snow 23:01 18 17 29 17 (NNE) 6 ptly cldy bl.snow 00:01 18 16 34 32 (NNE) 41 mstly clr bl.snow 01:01 19 17 33 38 (NE) 60 mstly clr bl.snow 02:01 18 16 27 61 (ENE) 52 mstly clr none 03:01 18 15 19 45 (NE) 58 mstly clr none 04:01 18 14 5 357 (N) 103 mstly clr none 05:01 19 13 13 44 (NE) 109 mstly clr none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
