<ynpvisitor93> OF ie
04:46:00
<Joe> Good afternoon Betty
04:46:24
<Betty> morning Joe
06:10:25
<STS> Morning all
06:10:45
<Betty> morning STS
06:11:02
<STS> Beautiful clear day for viewing :)
06:11:21
<Betty> :-/
06:14:37
<Joe> I have seen many geysers :) just not today :(

06:38:13
<Betty> Dome ie
06:38:44
<Betty> morning Kevin and Jake
06:39:26
<Betty> how are you, Jake?
06:39:46
<Kevin Lโข๐๐> Hi Betty
06:42:17
<Joe> Jake, i think Lion was just a roar, Lion has been roaring for over an hour or so, I dont know if this is signaling an end of series or an upcoming initial.
06:48:29
<Joe> NG
06:49:05
<Joe> Maybe I'll check
06:49:25
<Betty> looked like a bee burp to me
06:51:05
<Joe> yep, bee burp
06:57:54
<Jake> hi Betty and all
06:58:35
<Jake> Joe, I didn't know you had visibility on Lion this morning.
06:59:22
<Jake> roaring only happens mid-series, not when leading to an initial
06:59:45
<Jake> leading to the initial is light to heavy splashing
07:00:09
<Jake> so it sounds like it's done
07:02:10
<Joe> Yes there were "roars" around 0805, 0809, 0814
07:03:05
<kcmule> I met your artist friend this year at norris, Jake. I think his name was Bob? he was working with chalk and a big easel, and the subject of gt came up
07:04:36
<Jake> yeah, he mentioned he talked to you
07:04:41
<Betty> hey kcmule :-)
07:05:01
<Jake> he's working at Mammoth this winter too
07:05:38
<kcmule> if you have his website handy you could plug it here, I liked what I saw
07:06:53
<kcmule> hi Betty!
07:07:44
<Jake> https://robertnelsonstudio.com/
07:07:53
<Jake> he's got a lot of new stuff up since I last looked
07:11:07
<Betty> wow, amazing paintings
07:12:25
<kcmule> great ty. 'waiting for steamboat' captures the moment of pretty much all I did lol
07:12:50
<Jake> he has some story about being yelled at by a ranger for setting up his easel off the boardwalk at Steamboat
07:13:09
<Jake> but setting up ON the boardwalk was taking up too much space from other people
07:13:15
<Jake> I don't recall what his solution was
07:14:33
<ynpvisitor37> saw that - he was by Emerald one day
07:15:31
<Jake> need some sort of clip-on easel for the fence, or 3 hands
07:15:52
<Joe> Jake the times I gave you earlier or from memory but looking back at my recording I have something from lion 0706 too late 0709 then a small burst at 0717 then that short 08 29 through 08:30
07:19:37
<Betty> Dome ie
07:29:46
<Betty> Aurum??
07:30:09
<Betty> I think it wAS
07:30:25
<Betty> Morning Graham
07:30:36
<GO FUND ME (9)> Morning from DEN
07:31:01
<GO FUND ME (9)> Inbound flight is on a ground hold in Jackson due to wind and snow
07:36:39
<Joe> betty
07:38:46
<Joe> Betty, that did look like Aurum at 0829, it was very hard to see but it was there
07:39:05
<Betty> thx
07:39:51
<Joe> Lion
07:40:12
<Betty> Dome
07:43:56
<GO FUND ME (9)> Flight just left JAC, so we might leave den at 1115, 1130 more likely
07:47:55
<kcmule> plenty of time for an ipa and to enjoy the sunshine
07:48:14
<Betty> true :-D
07:51:32
<STS> Of
07:55:44
<ynpvisitor7> Hard to tell a time on that one
07:57:32
<LindaG> Good morning all!
07:57:45
<Betty> hi Linda
07:57:49
<Joe> after studying the recording I believe Lion ini 0705 next 0828 and recent 0939
07:58:16
<LindaG> Hi betty
07:58:22
<Betty> sounds good to me
07:58:39
<LindaG> Nice and snowy, they are lining up at west gate
07:58:47
<Joe> white on white and all white suck
07:59:07
<GO FUND ME (9)> With my mom at the gate otherwise would have an IPA and show up here later. Odd being at the only United gate on C concourse
08:02:03
<LindaG> I'm amazed you saw aurum
08:02:50
<Betty> Dome ie
08:03:05
<Joe> Betty has great eyes, oh to be young again :)
08:03:25
<Betty> young?? thank you :-)
08:12:57
<LindaG> It's amazing how quickly it clears
08:21:29
<Betty> amazing how fast it goes bad again :-(
08:27:59
<Betty> Dome ie
08:33:57
<Betty> I see blue sky
08:39:23
<Betty> Lion
08:40:05
<Betty> blue sky is gone again
08:40:28
<Kevin Lโข๐๐> Not here! :)
08:41:00
<Joe> :p
08:43:06
<Kevin Lโข๐๐> It is cold here though. Only 45ยฐ.
09:24:34
<ynpvisitor118> White bugs are winning
09:24:47
<ynpvisitor118> Visibility is waving the white flag of surrender
09:25:25
<ynpvisitor118> All predictable geysers are in the window
09:25:34
<ynpvisitor118> Can't see out the window
09:29:35
<LindaG> Well the white bugs aren't impairing the people
09:30:07
<ynpvisitor118> Brave souls
09:30:50
<LindaG> For sure
09:33:59
<GO FUND ME (9)> On the plane, yeah. Enjoy the white bugs
09:34:18
<LindaG> GO FUND ME (9), safe trip
09:34:33
<STS> OF
09:34:46
<LindaG> Castle seems to be doing something out there. Hard to see
09:34:55
<Betty> yes, safe trip
09:38:13
<STS> Was anyone watching that one closely? I wasn't and am not sure if it's a long or short
09:39:17
<LindaG> No I was staring at castle, looked like it was doing g so ethi g
09:39:42
<STS> I'll just leave it be as is. :)
09:39:48
<LindaG> *something
09:43:41
<ynpvisitor23> lion
09:43:50
<LindaG> Betty, I think castle may be erupting out there
09:49:30
<LindaG> Astle?
09:49:30
<Betty> looks a lot like Castle to me
09:49:39
<LindaG> Castle?
09:50:08
<LindaG> I'll enter it
09:51:36
<Betty> my streaming is choppy, and with this viewing conditions I cannot tell anything at the moment :-p
09:53:07
<LindaG> I've been watching for a while,wanted a second opinion before entering
09:56:46
<LindaG> Entered castle as questionable
10:14:05
<ynpvisitor103> enter the day as questionable!
10:22:24
<Betty> it will be hard to see the next OF
10:23:31
<ynpvisitor103> maybe on static
10:26:47
<ynpvisitor103> Dome is lost for now
10:27:26
<ynpvisitor103> storm is fast moving, maybe it will be gone by 1311
10:30:17
<Betty> hope you are right
10:34:03
<STS> Oh, hello blizzard
10:35:12
<LindaG> Wow hasnt been a good week.
10:37:59
<Joe> Linda the time on Castle looks about right and with the glimpses I saw I believe it is a major

11:40:03
<Joe> is that Grotto or Giant
11:41:45
<Betty> it was there when we almost could not see the treeline. so it is lasting quite a while
11:44:28
<Joe> it popped up about 1329 but may have been there longer
11:46:16
<Joe> now looks like Grotto

14:22:45
<ynpvisitor13> Hope it hasn't gone Sawmill on us...
14:23:23
<LindaG> Hopefully not. It was snowing pretty fierce for a while.
14:24:00

14:30:57
<LindaG> Go tailwind ๐
14:31:10
<Joe> Linda, your Castle was a major based on what we have seen today
14:31:23
<GO FUND ME (9)> looks like the benches sank a bit today, still needs more snow there
14:31:56
<GO FUND ME (9)> not sure what was going on with de-icing in Jackson that delayed the inbound flight
14:32:00
<LindaG> Oh good, thanks for letting me know
14:33:09
<Joe> time for a nap, bbl
14:33:37
<Joe> NG
14:33:38
<LindaG> Joe, I took questionable off and marked it castle as major
14:34:08
<LindaG> NG
14:36:15
<Joe> OK now I'm napping, bbl
14:39:34
<GO FUND ME (9)> thats an early time for NG. wonder if we will see another eruption
14:40:28
<LindaG> Joe marked it and then a minute later I saw it, so there were two plumes a minute a part
14:44:53
<Joe1> Linda are you on delay
14:45:42
<LindaG> Oh, is that it? Yeah I guess I am. I'll remove my entry
14:46:51
<LindaG> Thought you were napping. ๐
14:47:20
<Joe1> you do not have to remove it yousaw it, it willbe a secondary
14:47:40
<LindaG> Too late,
14:48:29
<LindaG> Is that Ng
14:48:38
<LindaG> Or lion
14:48:39
<Joe1> I sometimes nap near atablet>(

14:51:06
<Joe1> I'LL get a time later I'm away from my replay machine
14:52:17
<LindaG> Ok
14:53:13
<LindaG> Grand ie
14:53:43
<Joe1> nice
14:54:00
<LindaG> I'll mark it
14:58:44
<GO FUND ME (9)> so prior Lion was a minor?
15:43:38
<STS> Bad viewing, but did I just catch the end of OF?
15:43:49
<STS> Or was that just a bunch of steam!
15:44:15
<ynpvisitor999โ> maybe some preplay
15:49:01
<STS> There it is :)
15:56:57
<ynpvisitor55> We could see bee now
16:05:35
<ynpvisitor999โ> Lion
16:06:14
<ynpvisitor999โ> 11th in series
16:07:17
<ynpvisitor55> That was quick
16:07:32
<ynpvisitor999โ> minor
16:10:15
<ynpvisitor999โ> Lion
16:11:30
<ynpvisitor999โ> Beehive-style plume
16:12:38
<LindaG1> What's the time limit between minor and major?
16:13:09
<ynpvisitor999โ> as in interval or duration?
16:14:00
<LindaG1> Duration
16:17:18
<ynpvisitor999โ> from what I've observed, generally Lion majors have a duration of at least 2m50s, minors up to 2m00s and anything inbetween is a medium (sometimes with major-like intervals, sometimes minor-like)
16:17:31
<GO FUND ME (9)> minors are up to 1min
16:18:07
<GO FUND ME (9)> they an be as tall as majors, sometimes not so
16:26:07
<ynpvisitor999โ> I have to say that this is one of the more interesting Lion series since the Geyser Hill disturbance
16:33:34
<LindaG1> .thx
17:14:45
<ynpvisitor999โ> uhmm... excuse me, OF, but I prefer you not to do so
17:15:39
<STS> What was that?
17:16:09
<ynpvisitor999โ> most likely preplay and bad wind direction
17:16:34
<STS> Lol, it was kind of fun
17:19:33
<ynpvisitor999โ> Lion
17:21:06
<STS> Lol, this is terrible wind
17:21:42
<ynpvisitor999โ> if it wasn't for the left wind earlier I would totally have thought that 1919 Lion was Beehive
17:22:08
<ynpvisitor999โ> #13 in series, too
17:22:39
<STS> Thatโs the most Iโve seen recently
17:25:01
<ynpvisitor999โ> 7 eruptions to go and it will surpass the most eruptions in a series this year
17:26:35
<STS> I keep thinking OF is going, but itโs just the wind
17:27:58
<GO FUND ME (9)> we had 19 on Sept 18/19 after Ear Spring
17:28:28
<GO FUND ME (9)> another 20 and it could be close to the record
17:29:28
<STS> Thatโs OF?
17:29:41
<ynpvisitor999โ> I think so, STS
17:29:42
<STS> Big fluffy
17:30:04
<STS> Lol, oh wow
17:30:26
<ynpvisitor999โ> Good Ol' Fluffy :)
17:30:58
<GO FUND ME (9)> enjoy lions and Bee ... i am done for the day. See you NY Eve
17:31:08
<ynpvisitor999โ> night Graham
17:31:15
<GO FUND ME (9)> i guess DG is already there
17:31:22
<ynpvisitor999โ> 0331 right now
17:31:34
<GO FUND ME (9)> dont you ever sleep?
17:31:57
<ynpvisitor999โ> let's just say my sleep schedule is all over the place...
17:32:28
<GO FUND ME (9)> at least yu are off school now
17:32:30
<GO FUND ME (9)> goodnight
17:32:37
<ynpvisitor999โ> I could even go so far as saying I don't have a sleeping schedule during holidays
17:33:21
<ynpvisitor999โ> Anyway, I'm off for today too. Have fun watching dancing steam.
18:44:00
<LindaG> Why does bee torture me like this
18:45:56
<ynpvisitor30> It's just what geysers do. Torture you.
18:46:22
<ynpvisitor30> Torture us is better.
18:46:23
<LindaG> ๐
18:47:03
<LindaG> What the saying, "misery loves company"
18:48:41
<ynpvisitor30> That's the saying - At least this chat is full of good company.
18:49:18
<LindaG> I think its steaming
18:56:44
<LindaG> Well bee wins again. Have a goodnight and good luck
18:57:38
<ynpvisitor30> Good night Linda - Sleep well - Hope you see Bee tomorrow in the light.
19:01:00
<ynpvisitor18> Old Fluffy :)
19:17:04
<Kitt> Hey Joe, how is the weather in Thermopolis?
19:17:20
<Kitt> The wind is howling thru Worland
19:17:54
<Kitt> originally we thought it was the train, but then it kept getting louder
19:18:12
<Kitt> I am glad I don't have to be driving anywhere tonight
19:18:21
<Joe> Same here plus we had some snow
19:19:03
<Kitt> If we had snow, it must have been very little, but we still have about 5 inches on the ground from Thanksgiving
19:19:54
<Kitt> I think Worland averages strong wind maybe 20 days the entire year
19:20:20
<Kitt> Unlike Casper
19:20:46
<Joe> we had the thanksgiving snow then 2 inches about a week ago and now 2 to 3 inches
19:23:22
<Kitt> but our snow never went away
19:23:33
<Joe> i think iy makes the news in Casper when it does not blow
19:23:59
<Kitt> no that is when you fall over, because the wind isn't holding you up
19:24:27
<Kitt> I missed Beehive by 18 minutes last night
19:24:37
<Joe> our thanks giving snow was almost gone when we got our last
19:24:38
<Kitt> was hoping to see it tonight
19:25:21
<Kitt> we have had patches of ice and snow on our streets that haven't been plowed, since before Thanksgiving
19:25:50
<Joe> I was hoping for a daytime Bee but Bee is Bee
19:26:39
<Joe> Our streets have been good, a lot better than yours
19:28:35
<Joe> I hope things stay clear in Worland for the next two weeks, i have sugery in worland on the 10 th
19:28:45
<Kitt> I am hoping for Bee within the hour
19:29:37
<Kitt> hope your surgery goes well
19:30:11
<Joe> thanks, left shoulder replacement
19:31:10
<Joe> they did my right shoulder 1 1/2 years ago
19:31:47
<Joe> I like your hospital
19:35:06
<Kitt> will listen for indy ping
20:15:01
<ynpvisitor3> is that indy?
20:20:15
<ynpvisitor3> maybe just bubblers and bee splashes
20:29:25
<ynpvisitor3> is that Castle?
20:31:24
<ynpvisitor30> I don't know. Was thinking the same but scheduled for 01:14.
20:36:02
<ynpvisitor3> maybe Castle is just splashing a lot also
20:36:35
<ynpvisitor3> Old Faithful
20:36:48
<ynpvisitor3> ie
20:36:52
<ynpvisitor12> Old Fluffy you mean :)
21:06:09
<ynpvisitor3> looks like it is getting gusty at Old Faithful also
21:06:20
<ynpvisitor3> night
