                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 We started the night under cloudy skies.  Clouds came and went but mostly
 came all night long. Weather predicition was clear and it looked like
 we were right on the edge of the clearing, but clouds just rolling in
 from the west.
 We also had a very light dusting of snow and at the end of the night fog
 as the skies finally did clear around 04:00, the temp dropped, and the
 humidity shot up past the closure limits (and we had fog).
