              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Night started cloudy, windy with the threat of storms.  Needless to say, we remained closed.  Thunderstorms moved in around 23:00. Between rain we were stuck in a cloud.  It began to snow lightly around 03:00.  It was melting on the sidewalks, but I parked the scope facing south nonetheless.
With no hope of the skies clearing before noon, we called it at 04:00.
