When the clouds cleared, it was humid. When the humidity dropped, it was too windy given the snow and ice on the dome. I did some work on filter organization and labeling. Ecam is down; it didn't come back up usably after some work on Friday, and I can't get the nub to reconnect. ------- 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 28 24 13 325 (NW) 3078 cloudy lt snow 17:00 30 26 19 296 (WNW) 2647 cloudy humid 18:00 30 26 19 275 (W) 597 cloudy humid 19:00 29 26 8 269 (W) 424 mstly cldy humid 20:00 29 26 3 308 (NW) 439 mstly clr humid 21:00 28 25 14 300 (WNW) 524 clear humid 22:00 27 24 13 321 (NW) 460 clear humid 23:00 26 23 15 327 (NNW) 493 clear humid 00:00 25 20 9 334 (NNW) 462 clear none 01:00 26 17 22 24 (NNE) 748 clear none 02:00 26 18 25 5 (N) 719 clear none 03:00 27 14 24 17 (NNE) 756 clear none 04:00 26 15 16 29 (NNE) 669 clear none 05:00 26 15 10 3 (N) 613 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
