Now that today's Yellowstone Daily Report announced that the road from West Entrance to Old Faithful _reopened_ today to "wheeled vehicles and rubber-track snow coaches" (why do they call them snow coaches?)... and with today's predicted high temperature at OF being 49F... I thought you might to see what Beehive has been up to. Great thanks to Ralph Taylor for sending the electronic data to me. I've appended it to the chart I did on last year's data (I still need to dig out the last season info on Plume, Scuba, etc. and get it onto this version -- but I was really only after Beehive at this point). You will see that right about November 1, 2004 (or maybe mid-October), Beehive began to change rather radically. Looks as if Giantess had something to do with that. Throughout 2004, the Giantess effect was to lengthen Beehive after Giantess; January 2005, Beehive dramatically lengthened well _before the January 30 Giantess. And all those long-interval peaks. Well, so my for that moon theory of mine. Not a surprise... That long interval was 43h 18m, on January 16. Might the detector have been iced up at times during that about-2 week span? Nevertheless, the upward trend since early January is clear, and the overall average interval for February was 20h 42m. Rather low resolution jpg is attached.
