Keep an eye on the mountain from Friday night onwards. MKWC is predicting quite a lot of snow starting this weekend and another round of precipitation starting Tuesday/Wednesday.
I'm working on re-commissioning a mid-infrared instrument that hasn't been used at UKIRT for 11 years and things have been going so well until I saw this forecast...

If the forecast pans out, I suspect the Mauna Kea access road above the VIS will be closed from Friday evening through most of next week.
