                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialists: W.Ketzeback
 Conditions did not allow for us to open at all first half. It started snowing
 at 23:30.
 2nd Half Observing Specialists: R.McMillan
 Snow stopped falling after 03:00, but blowing snow continued to be a
 problem near ground level.  When the clouds began to thin, I spent a
 few minutes checking for blowing snow at the dome level before
 deciding it was safe to open.  We got a standard and two science
 targets before rising humidity forced us to close.
