              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    J. Huehnerhoff
At the start of the night the skies were nice and clear but we were
surrounded by radar returns.  The clear skies soon changed to crazy
weather.  Weather tonight included clear skies, high humidity, lightning,
rain, hail, and snow.
The new snow depth is currently just short of 1" and still lightly falling.
