              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Apollo ceded time to Don York.  Night was productive until right around
midnight, when the humidity went up very quickly.  I closed when ice was
starting to form on metal surfaces.  Humidity and eventually nearby radar
returns kept me closed the rest of the night.  In preparation for coming
snow, the dome was parked facing south.
