              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The winter storm hit! While we didn't get the snow that was predicted (drifts were only about 4 inches), but we certainly got the wind. It was gusting over 50 mph with sustained winds near 30 mph. We were not able to open tonight. I left the dome parked to the south to warm during the day, but I was not able to run the snow program due to the high winds.
No problems tonight.
