The weather has been very bad during the past winter, with February being nearly completely lost. There were 2 periods with very heavy snow fall after which the snow remained for a long time and we could not access the telescope for extended periods. A lot of time was lost due to delays and extra work caused by the weather, and many (day and nighttime) technical tests could not be done. However, considering the extreme weather situation and problems caused by bad weather in the past, very few problems have resulted and in general the telescope and instruments have apparently survived this rather well.
