                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Clouds, clouds, clouds, drizzle, snow, humidity and then more snow. The
 ground is white. No more accumulation than enough to cover the grass,
 however I left the telescope pointing south this morning to benefit from
 the suns warming rays in hopes it will melt whatever is on the roof. The
 roof heaters are also on. I spent the night working with Fastcam data
 reductions and software.

     Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.  The convention
     used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is
     particles > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
     Note: The Tower Dust counter appears to be down at this time
