              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
Closed all night. Wind speed around 50mph with gusts up to 60mph at the start of the night. Also dusty! We had a yellow sunset. Once the winds died down we were stuck inside of fog clouds for the rest of the night, with a little bit of snow blowing around in the middle but no new accumulation.
We had a few flickers during A half, but never lost power.
Instruments have been filled.
Temperatures were -3C to -5C, humidity between 70 and 100%.
