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.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>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.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>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.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>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.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Fan and Mortar markers were in place at 0800.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Riverside started overflow between 0810 and 0815, and then erupted at 0946.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>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.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oblong 1042ns.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grand was 03xxE and then 1031ie -- it was called but was invisible from Giant.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lion 0714, not initial.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jim got Beehive's Indicator at 0620ie, Beehive at 0632.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. <A title="http://food.aol.com/tyler-florence?video=4&?NCID=aolfod00030000000002" href="http://food.aol.com/tyler-florence?video=4&?NCID=aolfod00030000000002" target="_blank">Watch "Cooking with Tyler Florence" on AOL Food</A>.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
