              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shelden
Very cloudy to start the night, and clearing with high humidity the rest of the night.  Ice on the roof, and no chance of opening tonight.  No new snow, so did not run the snow program.  Telescope parked at 75 deg alt, facing south.  Snow in the forecast for today.  Did fills and went to bed at about 06:30.
First half observers did some darks on NICFPS.
UC02 observers: Grace Wolf-Chase,Mike Smutko,Kim Arvidsson
