Rain turned to ligth sleet around 20:40. Snow program was activated at that time. Snow stopped around 21:00, and there was some clearing, though radar still showed precip nearby. Snow program was stopped at 23:00. Nearby precip vanished, and skies cleared somewhat, so we opened around midnight. Around 03:00, humidity spiked so we closed. We stayed closed for the night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:17 dcamera 875( 696) -8 56 1.8 2.3 3.3 2.8 2.2 - 1.55 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 37 33 15 267 (W) cloudy lt rain 17:00 38 31 20 267 (W) cloudy lt rain 18:00 36 30 18 284 (WNW) cloudy lt rain 19:00 37 30 23 229 (SW) cloudy none 20:00 37 30 20 263 (W) 149 cloudy lt snow 21:00 38 28 17 271 (W) 121 mstly cldy none 22:00 37 29 17 264 (W) 117 mstly cldy none 23:00 37 29 14 277 (W) 120 ptly cldy none 00:00 36 30 25 265 (W) ptly cldy none 01:00 35 30 19 265 (W) ptly cldy none 02:00 35 30 22 262 (W) ptly cldy none 03:00 33 30 16 266 (W) ptly cldy humid 04:00 33 31 18 284 (WNW) ptly cldy humid 05:00 32 31 16 288 (WNW) ptly cldy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
