                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: J. Barentine
 Clouds persisted from afternoon into evening.  Opening was out of the
question with thick cloud cover and reported virga in the area.  The rain
sensor triggered at 21:37 with dewpoint=-6.7 C, differential=12.8 C and
humidity=38.6%.  Just goes to show...
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: R. McMillan
 Second half remained thickly clouded.  There was a little snow at
 01:20, but the precipitation sensor didn't trigger until a heavier
 burst of snow at 01:40.  The snow was just beginning to accumulate on
 the ground by the beginning of morning twilight.
