I'm getting around to posting this at a reasonable time today.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Yesterday's Grotto marathon ended sometime between 2100 and 2200, so had a duration of something around 18 hours. The Giant recovery hot period took place before anybody was out (my footsteps in the boardwalk frost were the first of the day), probably near 0700 or a little before -- yes indeed, roughly 9 hours after the marathon ended. Clearly, though, it wasn't very strong. Subsequent hot periods happened at about 0900 (maybe 0800, too, but nobody was anywhere near there at that time), 1029 (d = 5m 22s, Mastiff briefly to 3 feet), 1135 (d = 1m 49s, really weak) and 1238 (d = 4m 34s, Mastiff mostly flat and below overflow).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grotto's first post-marathon attempt to erupt happened mid-morning. Grotto Fountain started at 1006 and had a duration of about 19 minutes. Grotto did a lot of grumbling and even showed a bit of water within the cone, but it did not erupt. The next Grotto Fountain was at 1313ie, after Bill Warnock had left the area and just as Mike Lang and I were both headed toward Great Fountain.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oblong was well below overflow at 0730, then erupted at 0959, so a relatively short interval.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Daisy was 0720E -- I must have barely missed seeing it on arrival -- and then erupted sometime between 1006 and 1029 (while we were watching Grotto not start).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grand was last night at 2145E, this morning at 0615E (8h 15m), and 1254 (6h 39m, a T1Q with a duration a few seconds short of 13 minutes).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I only got one Plume interval, and that was 69 minutes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Beehive day before yesterday had been at, I believe, 1055. Yesterday it did not erupt all day (at least, the boardwalk was dry at dawn) and still not as of after 2100. At midday today it was having a few weak splashes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bill Warnock caught Fountain ie, later learned that it was at 1056 with a duration of 36 minutes. I'm not sure of the source of that info.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Yesterday morning, Great Fountain was 0945ie. There then was a visitor report that it went last night "after midnight." Today at around 1330 it was below overflow.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>That's all for today. Not all that cold today -- 58 here in town at 1400 -- but a forcast for 60% chance of precipitation tonight, snow at the "higher elevations."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
