                   ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Repeat of last night, Snow flurries, grauppel, lightning, high humidty and
 fog along with a moderate sized snow drift on the dome behind the shutter
 doors kept us closed all night. By 0400 the real heavy snow showers started
 to pickup. The telescope was left pointing due south in hopes that the sun
 would melt some of the snow off the roof during the day.
