              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Winter storm warnings for tonight.  Light dusting of snow around 22:00, then it let off.  It started back up around 01:00 and I started the snow program a little after this as well.
We gave up at 04:15
We have about 2-3 inches of snow accumulation as of 04:30.  Radar indicates probably more on the way but for the moment it has stopped snowing/blowing.
Telescope snow program ran all night long and telescope parked due South.
