              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Winter storm warning today, so far (as of 16:00) only a few flakes of snow and about 36MPH wind gusts.  We shall see what the remainder of the evening holds.  They are predicting 4-8" after all is said and done.
Kosmos reported Cal stage Not Homed after I did checkout.
At midnight my observer noted that KOSMOS reported cal stage not homed again.  It looked fine on my window but when I went to move it I got an error.  I homed it again.
This big winter snowstorm turned out to be a dud.  We got maybe just a dusting if that.  Winds peaked at about 44MPH for a couple minutes then died back down.  The skies did clear during 2nd half but the humidity kept us closed.
