                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialists: W.Ketzeback
 Opened right before the end of twilight to partly cloudy skies. Skies clouded
 up and humidity spiked at 19:45. Within 5 minutes of closing it snow flurries
 started. The humidity kept us closed the remained of first half.
 2nd Half Observing Specialists: R.McMillan
 We had about 2 inches of snow on the ground when the clouds began to
 clear off after 0100.  Humidity remained high in addition to the
 accumulated snow on the dome, so we were unable to open.  I ran the
 snow program.
