                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Cloud cover was too thick to open all night. About 2120 the rain sensor
 went off and the cloud camera was closed. At 2130 the snow flurries started.
 There wasnt much precipitation. Just enough to wet the sidewalks and frost
 the grass. The humidity bounced above or at the closure limit the rest of
 the night. I took the oppurtunity to do some engineering remaps of the
 altitude magnasensors that produced some rather ugly results that the day
 staff will look into tomorrow.

   used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is
   particles > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
