- Our prompting and parsing upgrades to the snow pillows are now complete. ncharts now shows Loads and SWE. I'll update qctables soon to add SWE (DONE). Pillow #3 still is running the old v3 code, though I have instructions from Matt to try to connect to it differently when we next return.
- After a week of erratic readings from two of the Apogees, all are now operating properly (without us doing anything!). After consulting with Apogee, our best guess is that water got into the cables. Apogee is sending us 4 replacements with their "newer" style (though the current ones also should have been the new style).
- One of Ethan's lidars on the uw tower still is not connecting. Ethan plans to give us a new SD card (that probably will rename this to pi7) to try to install on our next visit. We also will try to move the placement of his Pis in the DSM box to avoid antenna blockage.
With this handful of tasks, we are trying to decide if it is worth making another trip out to Crested Butte this month (as we had scheduled) or wait for the Dec. visit. Clearly, the snowpack is developing, which would be nice to document with the above user sensors. None of these tasks require climbing above 3m and could be done using the ladder (though this is awkward).
