                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
1st Half Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Thick clouds moving in with high wind gusts at sunset. Total overcast all
night. Snowing after 22:00.
2nd Half Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
As soon as the  snow stopped the site was blanketed by a heavy
fog until morning. I spent the second half working on some
of my various TUI scripts.
