              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Clouds thickened up just before sunset and never went away.  Rain sensor went off (lt. snow) at 03:20.
Snow was coming down at a pretty good clip at 04:15 when I went up to do my instrument fills for the night.  Just covering the sidewalks with snow by 04:30.
We never opened tonight.
