[1]This lab is outdoors, and we will avoid downpours and freezing temperatures only, so bring your rain jacket and be prepared to go outside in a light drizzle or in cooler temperatures.  If it is canceled, it will fall on the next appropriate day.  In the event that we are rained out for many days in a row, we will drop this day from the syllabus, and proceed with the syllabus.
