We had about 3/4 of an inch of white stuff on the ground at 00:30 and a big mass of moisture moving our way from the SW. I called it a night (due to the snow on the building) at 00:45 and just stuck around a bit to do the instrument fills. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions --------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 32 26 16 255 (WSW) 1133 cldy none 17:00 32 27 17 246 (WSW) 1059 cldy none 18:00 32 26 14 253 (WSW) 1024 cldy none 19:00 32 26 10 255 (WSW) 1098 cldy Lt.
