[Geysers] Dome, and geyser fog

[carolyn loren]

Dome was seen only from the Visitor Center windows, and appeared to be 2+ 
feet high as I've seen it in the past.  We saw it Feb. 4 (afternoon) and 5 
(morning).

Also this morning (Feb. 8) Little Squirt appeared to be post-eruptive, with 
a small liquid puddle around its steaming vent.  It was a zero degree 
morning, and so steamy that I didn't realize Grand was erupting (0947 i.e., 
2 bursts) until I was close enough to hear it.  I have been skiing to work 
via the one-way roads (quieter, better animal tracks) and because of geyser 
fog, couldn't see that Castle was erupting until I skied down that way to 
predict the geysers.

Our Beehive roll appears to be over for now; we saw it daily for over a 
week, but that ended with the Feb. 6 eruption.  This morning it was very 
quiet without bubblers at about 1020 or so.

Grotto appeared to be post-marathon; all was quiet there and at Giant (no 
Bijou, no nothin').
