----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Dec 19 17:21:44 GMT 2016 Year: 16 Doy: 354 Observer: rose WEATHER COMMENT: rose: Mon Dec 19 17:22:22 GMT 2016 Temp: 39.5f, Humidity: 70%, Pressure: 28.941in, Wind: 12mph from 161degs, Skies: 100% altocumulus ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: rose: Mon Dec 19 17:27:03 GMT 2016 It snowed yesterday and last night it looks like the snow line is at 12,000ft. The top of this mountain and Mauna Kea are covered in snow above 12,000ft. I notice increased traffic already this early with snow seekers coming up here because Mauna Kea road is closed. I hope that hundreds of people don't come again and clog our one lane road that cannot support the traffic. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY rose: Mon Dec 19 19:52:07 GMT 2016 Headed down before all of the people come and make the observatory road very dangerous. We need a gate at the bottom for winter days like today. ___end___
