Morning lightly snowing and low clouds, cleared to mostly sunny and windy by this afternoon.
Heard from PIs that there will be no IOPs for next 72 hours, so the soonest an IOP could start would be noon on Monday. As of today the 32m thermocouple at PRS is broken, so before the next IOP we will need to lower the tower and replace it.
Liz and I took advantage of the down day and had a nice morning checking out the Soldier Hollow nordic center. For future reference: it's $15 for a day pass and $25 to rent skis (classic or skate), and there's a fun variety of trails! We decided it was practice for having to ski in for SOS.
Data checks all looked good this morning, and I haven't noticed anything being off the net. Gary figured out a better way to get HRXL data back than rebooting the dsm, hooray! https://jira.ucar.edu/browse/ISFS-527
Liz and I got the soil corer weight unstuck from the handle but it's still not fully functional, see my comment on yesterday's post.
