                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 First Half Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 Cloud cover has been very extensive again tonight and humidity has
 been high but hasn't been at the closure limit. I never opened.
 Second Half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Continued clouds second half.  The one promising sucker hole was
 quickly followed by an onslaught of graupel.  Fortunately, I wasn't
 that much of a sucker.  Light flurries continued off and on for a few
 hours.
