              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
A snowstorm dropped several inches of heavy snow on the dome, so there was no chance of opening.  I didn't run the snow program since there was very little wind.  I adjusted DIS internal spectrograph focus and did some other off-sky work.
