We did not open again tonight. I ran the snow program until 2 am, did morning fills, and went to bed. There was no new snowfall during the night- perhaps tomorrow will be warmer. ------- 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 29 25 15 246 (WSW) 1733 clear none 17:00 27 22 19 264 (W) 121 mstly cldy fog 18:00 25 21 18 298 (WNW) 99 mstly cldy fog 19:00 22 21 17 299 (WNW) 96 ptly cldy none 20:00 23 22 18 299 (WNW) 68 ptly cldy none 21:00 23 22 21 341 (NNW) 86 ptly cldy none 22:00 22 20 14 356 (N) 62 clear none 23:00 22 18 8 358 (N) 53 clear none 00:00 22 17 3 343 (NNW) 42 clear none 01:00 22 14 17 13 (NNE) 42 mstly clr none 02:00 22 13 16 336 (NNW) 51 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
