                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 Poor weather with snow, high winds and high humidity would have been enough
 to keep us closed tonight but there is also several inches of snow and ice
 on the dome. I informed the observers that there was no chance of opening
 at all.
