                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st Shift: Jack Dembicky
Clouds prevented opening the enclosure as scheduled.  Lt. snow began
falling around 19:30 and High humidity and clouds prevented opening for
the first half of the night.
 Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Russet McMillan
 Snow fell off and on for most of second half, with a total
 accumulation of about 5 or 6 inches by morning.  I ran the snow
 program, although the wind probably wasn't strong enough to blow much
 of it away.
