                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Wind restrictions tonight set to 15MPH due to snow/ice on enclosure.  The wind gusts never went
below this level.  I ran the snow program for most of the night to help further blow off
remaining snow.  Telescope was parked due South to further help remove the ice during the
daytime.
I also reconnected Agile from the past weeks power glitches.  Homed it's filter wheel and took
test data.  All seems to be in working order again.
