              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Humidity, wind, a little rain/flurries.  We never opened.  More forcast on the way and a slow moving system on radar to our West.  I gave up around 03:45 as there was little chance we would be opening for the remainder of the night.
