I took the PT temp as being correct due to the fluctuation in ours), and ice/snow on the enclosure roof kept us closed all night long. Roof heaters were kept on all night (and left on when I left). Hopefully they will be able to melt the ice during the day. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEGDFVO) 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 34 22 29 258 (WSW) 200 Clouds none 17:01 32 24 19 267 (W) 139 Clouds none 18:01 30 22 16 267 (W) 215 Clouds none 19:01 33 24 18 252 (WSW) 147 Clouds none 20:01 35 23 20 233 (SW) 236 Clouds none 21:01 37 23 14 252 (WSW) 191 Clouds none 22:01 34 23 15 257 (WSW) 131 Clouds none 23:01 37 24 11 268 (W) 11528 Clouds none 00:01 35 22 13 267 (W) 94 Clouds none 01:01 34 21 11 265 (W) 99 Clouds none 02:01 35 20 12 266 (W) 96 Clouds none 03:01 31 21 6 286 (WNW) 1923 Clouds none 04:01 35 21 9 278 (W) 10664 Clouds Lt.
