               ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Coughlin
 Heavy clouds dominated all night. We had a one hour break first half
 where observers were able to get some data through holes, but they
 quickly closed and  clouds only thickened for the rest of the night,
 followed by high humidity and precipitation around 4am.
 No problems.
