 1st half Observing Specialist: Russet McMillan
 Snow all evening long.  Ran snow program.
 2nd half Observing Specialist: Jack Dembicky
 Ditto.
 I also plowed the walkways (Main building, lower buildings, and Dorm
 areas) and the areas in front of the 2.5m, as well as the drive up
 to it, and 3.5m drive with the Kubota tractor at 04:15.  It was still
 lightly snowing when I finished at 05:30.  About 3 inches of new white
 stuff had fell since yesterday afternoon.
