Depending on what forecast you listen to, the weater will be "wintry" for the next five days, and at least one forecast calls for "heavy mountain snow" on Tuesday.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Fna and Mortar finally erupted, last night 9/16-17 at roughly midnight (nobody was there that we know of), so an interval of about 7 1/3 days.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Giant has not erupted. Yesterday's Grotto marathon did not end until apparently shortly before dawn. The first recovery Giant Hot Period, at 12:26, was very weak, duration about 1m 40s. Just after I left the area, approximately 13:45-14:00, was apparently better, duration around 5 1/2 minutes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>At 10:54 new geyser across from oblong = Solstice was actually off (the first time I've seen it off since before August 9), but then it was back on at 11:00.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Today's Grand interval was definitely less than 7 hours, since it went at 13:36 (T2C) and the previous had been at 07:xx (nobody caught the minutes due to radio static).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>On the way out, Great Fountain was still well below overflow at 14:50 (yesterday's eruption was 15:27).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Pink was i.e. at 14:55. And (yes, M A !) Labial was at 15:01 (dual with Bead).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Tis all for now.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></BODY></HTML>
