Observing Summary:

The first half of the night was basically a wash. We got up and focused and then 
thick clouds rolled in. The humidity went pretty high so we closed up and waited it
out. We ate some cake and met the 1.3 observer, so generally a fun time. Around 
1-2AM the skies cleared and the 4 meter opened, so we opened back up. There were
still some high clouds but they cleared up. Outside was pretty icy though. After that,
things were very smooth.
