Nope, none, nada. It was cold enough for snow, it got down to -2 degrees last night, but it didn't snow :( Unfortunately I wasn't in the cold. I was sitting watching the clouds and mist all night from the comforts of the Hostel Library.
Tonight looks like the best night to observe since I've been here. There is absolutely no wind and the atmosphere looks really stable. The stars outside are brilliantly bright and they are not even twinkling :) This is good news for astronomers. The less twinkling the less turbulent the atmosphere and the better the image quality. Not that I'm actually taking images of the stars, but some of the other people on the hilltop are. All I'm doing is "catching" and "counting" the number of photons from a particular star.
Anyway, it's back to work for me. I'll post some more stuff tomorrow :)
