              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: M.Croom
Support from R. McMillan.
Weather kept us from opening. Humidity was too high all night and clouds were present on and off plus the occasional very light snow with no obvious accumulation.
Gave up at 05:00.
No issues aside from weather.
