New Year Update

I checked on the NCAR and CU windcubes at the NWTC on 12/31.  Both systems were operating normally snow free, without a connection to the internet.  Both water buckets were also frozen, nothing was done with either wiper system since neither one was working before the cold weather.

It looked like the NCAR hatch had been inhabited by a visitor who wanted a warm place to stay...

Later that evening both system clocks were synchronized with UTC at 17:00 Mountain time on 12/31, thus the clocks were synchronized at midnight UTC.  The CU windcube seemed to be wandering considerably away from the correct date and time.  There will be more to come on the details of what timestamp the CU windcube was recording and when.
