[Geysers] Geyser report May 21

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Can the temperature drop 40 degrees from one day to the next. Yes. Light  
rain early this morning turned to snow by about 0800 and continued. On the early  
drive out, it was snowing hard all the way back to West. And now I see the  
Webcam is completely clouded with dew or snow or whatever.
 
So perhaps we'll never really know what happened at Giant today. Sorry to  be 
a wuss, but we all got too cold and wet to wait out the complete marathon  
recovery. Giant was completely abandoned at about 1130.
 
Yes, Grotto went long yesterday. How long we do not know, but at about 0730  
today Bijou was just beginning to come back on. As time went on, it got  
progressively stronger accompanied by more and more jetting in Catfish, jetting  in 
back Mastiff and in Giant. At 0818 was the first time I saw a splash in front 
 Mastiff, and that action got progressively more common.
 
Finally, at 1021 there was a Mastiff footbath. After that, the GIP wasa  
still standing a good 4 to 6 inches below the elbow. Unfortunately, for the  next 
hour-plus the frequent Bijou pauses produced no action -- even the GIP came  
up only an inch or two. And we just had to leave.
 
Fan and Mortar markers were in place at 0800.
 
Riverside started overflow between 0810 and 0815, and then erupted at  0946.
 
Daisy at 0911 was the only one we saw. Perhaps we missed the next eruption  
while sheltering from the snow, but if not it hadn't erupted again as of about  
1140.
 
Oblong 1042ns.
 
Grand was 03xxE and then 1031ie -- it was called but was invisible from  
Giant.
 
Lion 0714, not initial.
 
Jim got Beehive's Indicator at 0620ie, Beehive at 0632.
