WEATHER COMMENT: Tue May 2 18:52:38 GMT 2000 Clouds are breaking up some, still too thick to guide reliably. Opened dome and readied systems to begin observations should the sky clear.

Flash snowstorm blew down form summit area with a fury !! Closed dome as fast as I could, but some stuff got on the O1s and on the telescopes. I was able to blow the ice crystals off the O1s with the airbrush without leaving watermarks as far as I could tell. Shut down observations after spar secured.
