[Geysers] Beehive through winter

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.
