Observing Summary:

At the beginning of the night we noticed a small amount of 
snow on the mirror cover.  We brushed this off several hours
before opening the mirror cover.

The first half of the night was too humid to use the telescope.  
Around 1:30am the humidity finally dropped enough that we began
observing. We shut down around 2:30 because the 
humidity was rising again but we were able to open ~30 minutes
later. 

The seeing throughout the night was very poor, 
ranging from 5 -7 .
