              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Clouds, humidity, and light snow all night from approaching winter storm system.
At 03:45 snow was just starting to accumulate.  Maybe 1/4-1/2 inch on the ground but snowing and radar echos showing lots more now coming out way in the next few hours.
Called it a night at 03:45AM.
