19:56:53
<lc> good morning all
19:56:56
<cb> Hi lc
19:57:07
<Kevin L> Must have had reservations at the cabins.
19:57:25
<cb> Depression went last night right after...and i mean RIGHT after you left
19:57:56
<Kevin L> It was kind of you to be our sacrifice
19:58:24
<lc> I thought it was time but couldn't see much anyway.
19:58:59
<cb> we saw a few nice sized bursts and then the lighting went
19:59:38
<lc> its a little colder this morning
19:59:48
<lc> bout zero
19:59:50
<Kevin L> Looks like our sun is gone today.
20:01:39
<cb> Nice!! I can almost hear them snorting
20:03:09
<cb> just a quick peek for me this morning. bbl have a great day all!
20:03:35
<Kevin L> bye
20:04:01
<lc> later cb, have a good day
20:35:20
<vw> good morning all. Rather foggy in the basin this morning.
20:35:42
<lc> morning vw
20:35:57
<lc> and Derek
20:36:07
<Derek> Hi
20:36:12
<Kevin L> Morning. Looks cold also.
20:36:40
<vw> at 0815 the temperature at OF Ranger station was -8F
20:37:16
<vw> very minor winds at 2 mph at least mean wind chill isn't too awful.
20:39:26
<vw> I will check back later to see if we have a better view into the basin.
20:39:30
<vw> bbl
20:39:48
<lc> later vw
20:50:13
<Kevin L> Is that Indicator?
20:51:19
<lc> sure looks like it to me.
20:51:37
<Derek> You tell me. I'm straining my eyes here :-)
20:52:28
<Kevin L> Almost looks like it could be in the Lion group.
20:54:00
<lc> I think it was BH area
20:54:54
<Kevin L> Hopefully it wasn't the end of a Beehive eruption.
20:56:22
<lc> might have been
20:56:50
<Kevin L> Nice OF on static cam
20:59:20
<lc> was that OF 0856ie?
20:59:48
<Kevin L> That is what I had.
21:00:56
<lc> I was checking the VC cam, wasen't sure.
21:04:15
<Kevin L> The shot of the VC camera I saved has the time 0856.
21:04:32
<lc> ty
21:11:15
<ynpvisitor88> .
21:41:33
<Kevin L> Didn't notice any action in the Beehive area. That could have been the last of a Beehive at 0850.
22:20:25
<Kevin L> Oblong?
22:40:15
<ynpvisitor67> OF 10:38ie
22:40:46
<Kevin L> Looked like a tornado.
22:41:17
<ynpvisitor67> Just like the ones that roar thru OK and Kansas
22:41:27
<Kevin L> Oh oh. Drips on the glass.
22:41:59
<Derek> and I don't have access to the wiper
22:42:47
<lc> you nswered my question D.
22:42:51
<ynpvisitor12> I thought I need to get my eyes checked, cause I was seeing spots.
22:42:58
<ynpvisitor67> Push the wiper request button. g
22:42:59
<lc> answered
22:44:43
<ynpvisitor12> Wow we ae being attacked by ailiens or what?
22:45:06
<Derek> cc on the wiper
22:46:19
<ynpvisitor67> An 'AFTER' burst on OF?
22:53:03
<ynpvisitor69> Is that Sawmill?
22:53:51
<Derek> It looks too far right but what else could it be?
22:54:39
<ynpvisitor69> Very good show whatever
23:04:27
<ynpvisitor67> Perhaps Spasmodic?
23:05:12
<ynpvisitor67> Or Penta?
23:06:46
<Derek> Sawmill on left of screen. Spasmodic on right of screen.
23:07:04
<Derek> Penta slightly left of spasmodic
23:07:38
<ynpvisitor67> yes and you said "It looks too far right but what else could it be?"
23:09:43
<Derek> I think it is steam from Sawmill's run off chanel
23:10:53
<Derek> Just out of curiosity, who am I chatting to? :-)
23:12:57
<Derek> Plume?
23:13:39
<Kevin L> I am stll here
23:13:41
<Derek> 11:13 Plume
23:17:07
<Kevin L> Beehive still looks dry. I bet it went this morning in the fog.
00:10:10
<Rich> OF 12:09ie
00:11:49
<Kevin L> Another tornado. Awesome!
00:15:09
<Rich> Y'all get wet?
00:15:25
<Kent> I guess no Plume this time around :)
00:21:45
<Kevin L> Looks like something in the Grand area.
00:28:20
<Kevin L> Steam in the Beehive area.
00:38:50
<vw> Good afternoon all. Much clearer in the basin now.
00:39:41
<Rich> Hi vw
00:40:03
<Rich> Sun has also come out. g
00:43:26
<vw> I can't tell if we are getting steam because something is going to erupt or because it is cold.
00:46:37
<Rich> Time will tell.
00:48:00
<vw> Lots of steam in the Grotto area
00:48:49
<vw> Grand 1248
00:49:22
<vw> better view here than ringside.
00:49:52
<vw> well, unless OF steam gets in the way. grrrrr.
00:53:32
<vw> Impressive steam column, but hard to see water in all that.
00:55:07
<vw> That looks like a 2nd burst to me.
00:57:25
<vw> hmmmm. pause *?) coming up
00:57:37
<vw> I can't type.
00:57:43
<steve> So, has BH made an apparence today?
00:58:21
<vw> I saw a comment in the log that some thought it might have gone earlier when it was too steamy to see here steve.
00:58:34
<vw> I saw some steam from it just a while ago, but no water splashing.
00:58:59
<steve> ty
00:59:20
<vw> Grand not done with us yet.
00:59:21
<steve> No idea if that was a second burst or just steam
00:59:49
<vw> hard to read with teh steam. There were people on the ground heading over that way. Maybe we will get a report from the basin.
01:00:31
<steve> looks like a nice day to be in the basin... shame work is calling
01:00:58
<vw> sadly, that is almost always true steve!
01:01:41
<steve> Groblong?
01:02:31
<vw> Almost too much steam from too many sources to tell?
01:03:23
<steve> Hmmm, its rare, but Grand can have afterbursts
01:03:45
<vw> in this cold, I would expect to see steam from Turban and Vent.
01:04:00
<vw> we are also seeing steam I think from Grotto on the right.
01:04:11
<steve> Yea, likely just steam anh hallucinations
01:04:18
<vw> The steam on the right has been going for a while.
01:04:29
<steve> OK
01:05:04
<vw> whatever the sources, there is a lot of it.
01:05:35
<steve> And on a day like today, Vent and Turban can kick up a big steam cloud on the left
01:05:49
<vw> now that whiter column could be a different source, maybe Oblong?
01:05:55
<steve> Maybe Rift too
01:06:06
<vw> yes,. The temp is about 11. Pretty chilly.
01:06:40
<steve> bbl, work nags
01:06:49
<vw> If it turns out to be Giant, lets not tell Graham.
01:06:57
<vw> Have fun steve. Will look for you later.
01:07:02
<steve> G
01:10:11
<vw> have to step away from control for a minute. brb.
01:23:39
<vw> Riverside 1323 ie ?
01:32:01
<vw> VC has predicted Castle for 1345 +/- 1hour, so want to keep an eye out for it.
01:34:02
<vw> We have confirmation from the VC that BH went this morning at 0850.
01:34:56
<vw> Castle 1334
01:35:03
<Kevin L> Well we did see the end of it anyway.
01:35:27
<vw> You guys have pretty good eyes!
01:36:24
<vw> I would say the VC pegged that Castle prediction pretty close.
01:36:47
<vw> Need to keep an eye on OF too
01:43:46
<vw> Sorry about the ride there folks. We are trying to get some info for the VC
01:44:19
<vw> OF 1344
01:44:45
<vw> I think. Steam heading right at us!
01:44:54
<vw> nope. just steam based on VEC static cam
01:47:59
<vw> Very tall column in the Grotto area right now.
01:49:48
<vw> sure wish OF would hurry up!
01:50:12
<vw> OF 1349
02:05:57
<vw> for all the steam earlier, the only thing really putting on a show now is Sawmill/
02:16:07
<vw> Nice water at Little Cub
02:22:28
<vw> Wind is blowing OF steam right at the camera. At this point about all I can really do is try to keep moisture from getting onto lens. Sorry.
02:26:59
<vw> Daisy 1426 ie
02:32:20
<vw> lost my internet connection for a second. Need to reconnect to livescope. brb.
02:33:34
<vw> back
02:33:51
<vw> sorry about that.
02:34:00
<vw> Looks like some water at Dome 1433 ie
02:35:27
<vw> Oblong 1435 ie ?
03:10:44
<vw> I think we will get sprayed with OF erupts
03:17:18
<vw> OF 1517
03:18:08
<vw> And more steam downbasin
03:18:27
<vw> Again, I think I called OF too soon. I think that was just preplay?
03:18:59
<vw> Sorry to whoever is doing the recap for today.
03:23:23
<vw> More preplay...
03:27:55
<vw> OF 1527
03:27:58
<vw> for real this time
03:29:14
<vw> Depression 1529 ie ?
03:30:41
<ynpvisitor40> vw is that you? it's sparekitty! how are you? are you freezing? brenna told me it's COLD.
03:31:07
<vw> Hey sparekitty! yeap its really me. Got on this afternoon as CC had some things to do.
03:31:24
<ynpvisitor40> nice to run into you!
03:31:29
<vw> It is very cold today. Won't get out of subzero temps today. Single digits tomorrow.
03:31:57
<ynpvisitor40> wow. too cold for me. brenna is doing well though. doesn't seem to mind the cold. i think she's too young to know better!
03:32:50
<vw> I hear you! My high schooler does just fine with his hoodie as his only coat. Luckily he only has a block to walk to school.
03:33:26
<vw> tell B that spring is right around the corner! Promise!
03:33:41
<ynpvisitor40> that is crazy!!! hey, i have to get back to work. hope to "see" you again sometime soon. i'll tell brenna that you promise it will warm up.
03:33:55
<vw> Have a good evening. Nice to see you here.
04:04:34
<vw> Hi Graham.
04:04:35
<Graham> hello
04:04:55
<vw> Was wondering if you got stuck in traffic!
04:05:00
<Graham> whats on the agenda tonight?
04:05:25
<Graham> not bad today. not sure about the next 2 days with the weather coming
04:05:51
<vw> Yeah, sounds like you guys are in for it, again.
04:06:24
<Graham> may be some ice, 1/4 to 1/2 inch
04:07:04
<vw> I would rather have snow.
04:08:03
<Graham> yeah ice is hard to deal with
04:14:20
<vw> I am heading out for the evening. Hope everybody has a good evening.
04:52:44
<Graham> OF 1651
05:00:01
<ynpvisitor24> dzfgh
05:00:31
<Graham> thats a good name for it
05:11:02
<Graham> Daisy 1710
05:11:07
<Graham> Daisy 1710
05:23:43
<Kevin L> Indicator
05:26:05
<Kevin L> Perhaps not, but that looked like a HW splash
05:26:24
<Graham> sorry was distracted by 3 fire trucks outside
05:27:16
<Graham> someone smelt a burning smell in a neighbors place. doesn't look like anything tho
05:27:53
<ynpvisitor79> wow. both for your fire scare and all the steam in the basin.
05:28:31
<Kevin L> Someone called the fire dept for a church BBQ we had. Funny thing was the fire chief was the cook!
05:28:35
<Graham> yeah not sure what it was but theres no sigh of urgency
05:28:39
<Graham> maybe something shorted out
05:31:00
<Graham> Little Squirt 1730ie
05:34:16
<Kevin L> Wonder if we have a shot at Beehive. Lion looks steamy also.
05:34:41
<Graham> must be waiting for dark
05:35:39
<Kevin L> Now if it were July and there was a full moon, I might enjoy the wait. Single digits, I don't think so.
05:36:39
<Graham> hard to wait out in he dark. Maybe for F&M if it starts events before dark, or Giant when its active...waited till 2200 marathon recovery in Feb 2008
05:36:53
<Graham> big hot period, no eruption
05:37:16
<Graham> still have not seen Giant at night
05:38:10
<Kevin L> My daughter caught a 2am Giant with Linda S. I was lucky enought to catch a 2am Beehive with Herb, John M, T Scott, and a few more. It was incredible.
05:39:33
<Graham> best BH i saw was at 0400, no wind at all so BH created its own wind vortex swirl
05:40:34
<Graham> Giant was poretty good with a blue sky in Fen too :)
05:40:42
<Kevin L> Nice. That one was my first full moon geyser. Have seen Grand and Castle under the full moon also.
05:40:47
<Graham> Feb
05:42:45
<Kevin L> There is something special about night geyser gazing. May be tooo many critters roaming the area now.
05:43:57
<Graham> i like the morning quiet
05:45:04
<Kevin L> Especially in the fog. I like to go sit by Doublet and hopefull catch an Aurum.
05:49:16
<Graham> hard to commit to Aurum in summer
05:51:53
<Kevin L> I know. It hates me. I sat there from 0600 to 2005 one day and it looked like it was ready to go at any time.
05:52:31
<Graham> looks like Dome again 1751ie?
05:53:34
<Kevin L> Looks like it to me.
05:56:15
<Kevin L> Nice splash
06:13:49
<Graham> goodnight
06:14:10
<Kevin L> Dittos here. Bye
