A few snowflakes were falling as I walked up here. Light southwest breeze. WEATHER COMMENT: Thu May 8 16:36:41 GMT 1997 >From all indications--visuals from Hilo, satellite loops, and NOAA solar radiation plots, yesterday's sky was not observeable, at least with MKIII. CHIP may have been able to plow thru the cirrus and DPMON may have been marginal. Will still put up a blue dot on calendar as no observer was at site.
