The snow was sticking, and falling regularly, so I told users that we would not open. I began to run the snow program at 19:30. I did fills at 3:15, and went to bed then. I left the press fans off because of high humidity and the possibility of more snow. Parked in snow position. ------- 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 20 11 23 268 (W) 12589 cloudy dust 17:00 19 3 24 267 (W) 10484 cloudy dust 18:00 16 14 26 292 (WNW) 2734 cloudy humid 19:00 14 13 13 295 (WNW) 1398 cloudy lt snow 20:00 13 12 24 5 (N) 4107 cloudy snow 21:00 13 12 14 309 (NW) 553 cloudy snow 22:00 12 10 15 355 (N) 391 cloudy none 23:00 10 8 11 4 (N) 429 cloudy humid 00:00 11 9 8 28 (NNE) 517 cloudy none 01:00 12 10 14 359 (N) 616 cloudy lt snow 02:00 13 10 19 7 (N) 191 cloudy none 03:00 13 11 19 16 (NNE) 679 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
