===Station Work:===
* @ Site A: '''Replace Snow #1 (ID 7)'''
* @ Site A: '''Look at Heat Flux Pit #2... it is reading 0mV, may have broken in the ground)
* @ Site B: '''Look at Heat Flux Pit #1 & #2... both reading 0mV)
* At each site:
** Level Radiometer (phillips screwdriver needed)
** Replace Desiccant in radiometer (phillips screwdriver needed, anti-corrosion grease)
** add Desiccant to instrument box
** clear snow from precip gage & level (torpedo level, snow shovel, 5/16" nut driver needed)
