On the site: SteveO and Ling  (Jan. 5, 1011, 8:40am - 10:10am)

Beautiful frosty conditions.  Half foot of snow, and ice/frost on tree, bushes, and instruments.

1> take pictures ( 8:40am This site is cold, covered with snow, significant different from others, it worthy of pictures taken)

2> clean up sonic and krypton sensors (8:46am)  Both were covered with hoar frost (both arms and over sonic transducers, over frame and krypton tubes).  Also the krypton tube faces had frost.

3> clean up radiometers (9am)

4> clean up TRH (9am)  I'm not positive, but I believe the fan started while we were there (had been stuck?).  I removed the tube and blew bits of snow out.  The SHT itself was relatively clear.

5> reinstalled the krypton electronics on its official bracket, though Joe's cable-tie mount was perfectly fine (reconnected at 9:33am)

6> clean up solar panel (9:35am)

7> take soil samples (9:50)

8> shoot the boom (10am), measured 77.3degrees
