Afternoon:
----------


23:45Z   Restarted servers
         Turned on ThAr lamp
         Russel asked for guider images
         Checkout had no problems.
         Checked mirror numbers, and they were fine.  Didn't have a log open   
yet, so they aren't here.

Night:
-------

23:45Z   Snow, high humidity and clouds.  We won't be opening until this       
         changes.

06:30Z   Clouds are a bit cleared out, but humidity is still high and snow is  
         blowing around.

06:40Z   Rain sensor has been set off twice by snow so far tonight.

10:25Z   Turned the telescope off, because the weather shows no signs of       
         improving tonight.


10:38Z   Turned off ThAr lamp

10:44Z   endNight finished...and there was much rejoicing.  Yay.
