              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Absolutely dismal prospects for observing.  Started out with a blizzard, that is finally petering out at about 22:00.  About 4 inches was dumped in the space of a few hours, with drifts up to a foot. Public power failed and the  generator kicked in.  Due to the switchover, we had an enclosure error while running the snow removal program.  Movement was eventually restored, but not until after the storm had passed. There is definitely snow and there may be drifts on the roof.  We were unable to open at all.  The scope was parked facing due south.
