NOTE BY DARRYL: Tue Mar  6 18:13:24 GMT 2012
I positioned the kiddie pool I bought a few years back under the slot in the 
main dome to catch leaking water from blowing snow and rain, no leaks yet
but it leaked last time we had these weather conditions.  Alternating between
blowing rain and snow.

CoMP COMMENT BY DARRYL: Tue Mar  6 18:15:41 GMT 2012
I doubt I'll be able to run CoMP today and since GasPro is coming up a week
later than normal (delivery is tomorrow) I've filled the camera dewar and
turned off the Pulizzi channel #3 to the camera to conserve the LN2 better.

WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Mar  6 23:15:07 GMT 2012
Thick dark clouds continue, no rain or snow currently but I'll leave the 
GONG covered because of the unstable weather.  I'm going down to Hilo to 
take care of some things.
