              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
Sometime during the day the stripchart mac froze at 100% cpu use, error strip chart had disappeared so that might be the culprit. Restarted computer.
Lots of radar nearby for A-half and the start of B-half. We got light snow flurries for a little while after 22:00, and clouds on and off all night. It was too humid to open for all of B-half, even after the clouds cleared up.
