              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
We did not open at all tonight.  I found snow on the dome this afternoon.  But we also had nearby radar returns, clouds and high humidity throughout the night.  Got a light dusting of new snow as well.  I ran the snow program the whole time, and parked the dome facing south to promote melting when the sun eventually does come up.
