              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: M.Croom,A.Townsend
During checkout, gcam needed the Nubs restarted.
Started snow program at 17:50, and stopped it at 03:00.
Snow on the dome prevented us from opening tonight, but we had snow and fog all night.
Mark got more training doing fills, snow program, dewer swaps, practice mounting and unmounting Arctic, and general operations.
No telescope problems.
We parked the dome facing south in case we get some sunshine today.
