Photo (left): Sent Jason out to clean the radiometer domes

Commentary:
This will be my last report. Had a devil of a time making it to the
site this morning. Had a whopping snowfall last night. The Nauru Mountain
Ski Resort reports 28 inches of fine powder over a bed of phosphate. We've
all decided to give up the science racket and become skiers. We'll lock
the gate behind us, as we're off to Capelle's to buy snow suits and skis...
