              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: M.Croom,C.Gray
We were operating under restrictions for snow on the roof, and the winds and glass temperatures were above limits for all of the night. We gave up at 03:45 having never opened the dome. The OU01 class was able to perform in-dome calibrations, closed-dome slews, and received a variety of other instructions. Parked the dome SW to aid in melting the snow in the daytime.
No problems tonight.
