High 20's going into park, to 40's by 0900, but sun eventually got
swallowed by clouds and brisk breeze was cutting right thru me at
Fountain--another short day.
30-50 bison were traveling E on the W entrance road this AM.  No
problem scooting thru at 0530, but creating quite a westbound jam as I
returned.

I never made it as far as Old Faithful.  Great Fountain was in
overflow, trickling over the outer rim as I arrived at 0602.  Benches
and boardwalk coated with frost thru the eruption.

Great Fountain: O648 p=0
White Dome: 0619, 0653

Great Fountain had a tall, wide, send water under the boardwalk first
series.  I laughed out loud as I watched.  Stopped at Pink cone a bit
then to Fountain.  Jet was going every 8-9 minutes.  Spasm was ie at
0908.  Morning's Thief started bubbling up at 0937.  Twig started at
1031.  I pulled out by 1100.

Again, Beartooth and Dunraven Pass were closed as I entered.  I
suspect they may have something like an 11PM to 7AM closure just as a
precaution against what might become of the roads during that time,
but I haven't confirmed that.  If you are coming that way, please
check before committing.
