              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Evening started with overcast skies. Some suckerholes were on satellite images, so we hoped for the best. One came through, so we opened. It lasted for about 30 minutes, then back to mostly overcast skies. Since there was no rain nearby on the radar, we stayed on sky, hoping to take advantage of any clear spots. We closed around 23:00 due to radar returns. Threat of rain/snow and overcast skies kept us closed the rest of the night.
