              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
We had some interesting weather tonight!  It seemed there was a storm at every cardinal direction and each were coming right for us! Somehow, and I don't understand how, everything swung around us or passed over quickly.  It made for some pretty terrible seeing at the beginning of the night but things got better after midnight.  There was a spot of clouds but the rain never got too close.
No problems tonight.
