I am convinced that some of my reports about it earlier were probably not right but I am not sure what else could be generating that much steam there?  Oblong is tricky too, sometimes easy but other times it could be something in the Grand group or wayward Grotto steam.  Depression is tricky if the Dwarfs are active or it's hot (not much of a problem this time of year) or the wind is blowing hard.  Plume - sometimes mixed up with OF steam especially when only seen on the static cam where you are lucky to get one good screen shot of it.  Of course the other problems with reported times are the obvious time-zone related errors (it would be a whole lot easier for me if the UGB was in EST), typing errors in the log or my emails (I have made errors in geyser name and times in the log at various points although usually someone catches it).  I will try to keep the reports coming through the winter and it will be interesting to watch the Beehive, Lion and Depression activity on the cam following this recent Giantess eruption.  Of course seeing it up close will be a whole lot better and I already have the countdown going on my whiteboard at work......<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> </div> <div> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Saturday 12/26/09 (static cam and streaming cam down most of the afternoon)<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Beehive 0843ie, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Daisy 0847ie (?), <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Depression 1228ie, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>OF 0806, 0858, 1215, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Sunday 12/27/09<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Aurum 0712, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Beehive 0838, Ind 0829ie, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Depression 1335ie, 1631ie, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Grand 1344, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Lion 1026, 1139, 1245, 1353, 1457, 1605, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>OF 0712, 0802, 0929, 1059, 1410, 1542, 1709, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Plume 1148, 1348, 1445, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Riverside 1324ie<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Monday 12/28/09<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Beehive 0824, Ind 0808<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Depression 1236, 1556ie, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Grand 1008, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Little Squirt 0726ie, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>OF 0808, 0922, 1106, 1240, 1405, 1542, 1707, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Plume 1215, 1323, 1422, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Riverside 0738ie. 1322ie, <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Graham Meech</span><o:p></o:p></p> </div> </div> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> </div> </body> </html>
