              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
The night started out pleasant and clear with moderate seeing, and rain two counties over.  Then one county over.  Then clouds overhead, then radar showing virga on top of us.  The system looked like it MIGHT clear out and I was close to re-opening to try again, when wind shifted strongly to the east and humidity spiked, bringing in freezing fog.  There was no chance for the remainder of the night.
