              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
During checkout nicfps was showing the B&W image, expose init fixed the issue.
Agile also did not take images, Image too early error was reported in log window. I checked and found the heartbeat was dead.  I restarted the heartbeat which fixed the issue.
The sky camera looked more promising than going outside and looking up at the sky.  We stayed closed as the waves of clouds moved overhead and weren't sure if the returns on the radar were real or not.
I called it for the night at 03:30 with a large mass of moisture heading our way.  No snow as of yet though.
