                   ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
  Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 About 6-8 inches of white fluffy stuff tonight.  No chance of opening.  I
 turned the roof heaters off around 16:00 this afternoon as the outside
 temperature was below the heaters effective use range.
 Snow program was not ran since we did not meet J.Davis criteria for
 running it.  I did park the telescope due South at the end of the night
 and turned the roof heaters back on.
 The telescope enclosure controller (the big box next to the stairs on the
 intermediate level) was tripped tonight.  I think it was due to a power
 glitch that we had around 15:00 in the afternoon.  Resetting the switch
 fixed the problem.
