              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
The evening started cloudy.  We did not open.  A clear patch started coming through about 21:00 but humidity started to spike as well. Fog formed around 22:00.  High winds compounded the fog starting around 00:00. We called it at 05:15 since the observer would not have time to get meaningful data before sunrise. No observing was done.
