05:58:10
<GO STEAMBOAT> WAAAAA YNM down?
05:58:59
<GO STEAMBOAT> and YNR looks like it had a sensitivity change?
05:59:53
<GO STEAMBOAT> both at 2306 MST
06:03:21
<GO STEAMBOAT> looks white out there?
06:18:24
<GO STEAMBOAT> of
06:20:17
<GO STEAMBOAT> Mammoth to NE Entrance is closed
06:20:33
<GO STEAMBOAT> guess they need to get the plows through
06:20:44
<GO STEAMBOAT> radar doesnt show much happening there now
07:05:44
<GO STEAMBOAT> dome
07:08:53
<GO STEAMBOAT> lots of white bugs
07:09:25
<LindaG> Ah snow🙂
07:09:32
<LindaG> Morning all
07:09:50
<Steamboat> total white out conditions
07:10:08
<Steamboat> morning Linda
07:11:00
<LindaG> Steamboat, hi
07:19:29
<LindaG> Wow lake looks cool
09:44:18
<JarnoO> morning all
10:01:05
<KorbenC> Jarno, you arent very sneaky :P
10:01:39
<KorbenC> havent seen OT, and Spas is on and off, lots of churns, maybe we are switching to a true Penta Churn :P
10:03:14
<JarnoO> was thinking the same. With those Churn eruptions I was wondering if the complex is trying to switch to Penta-Churn. Would also be the time of year for it. Pentas tend to be more common during winter and early spring from what I've learned from the logs
10:03:37
<KorbenC> :D
10:04:29
<JarnoO> WT ie
10:04:48
<JarnoO> dinnertime
10:05:00
<KorbenC> JarnoO, I just got breakfast :P
10:09:48
<KorbenC> Hi Forest
10:10:10
<Forestbewithyou> Good morning Korben and everyone else
10:15:47
<Forestbewithyou> I wish I had another day of the weekend
10:16:08
<GO STEAMBOAT> ooh i missed a Churn
10:16:17
<KorbenC> GO STEAMBOAT, morning.
10:16:23
<Forestbewithyou> Hi Graham
10:17:29
<GO STEAMBOAT> hello. sure looks like change happened in the grup
10:17:56
<KorbenC> certainly does, or is happening right now as well.
10:18:05
<KorbenC> Spas is still off, might be turning on right now though
10:18:08
<KorbenC> Spas
10:18:36
<GO STEAMBOAT> visibility isnt very good tho
10:21:08
<GO STEAMBOAT> doesnt look like we will get a snowbow today
10:50:47
<GO STEAMBOAT> did Daisy wear tself out yesterday ad is now dormant?
10:51:24
<JarnoO> been very snowy. And when Daisy was visible, it wasn't erupting :P
10:51:43
<snow> It only erupts when we are looking at something boring
10:51:50
<KorbenC> wb JO
10:52:07
<JarnoO> 10/30 (1), 0/20 (2). Three guesses where
10:52:22
<KorbenC> I was jsut about to say :)
10:52:44
<KorbenC> "Confidence has been increasing of system development S of DR."
10:53:08
<KorbenC> I was looking at models this morning and went, "oh, there is another circling thing south of DR"
10:53:46
<JarnoO> I have no idea about the sea surface temperature after Eta, but the wave is forecast to develop in the area notorious for rapid intensification
10:53:58
<KorbenC> yup
10:54:10
<KorbenC> there is a HUGE trough coming down too, could promote cat 4+
10:54:36
<KorbenC> Eta is going to eject just ahead of it while it moves SE.
10:55:42
<KorbenC> https://ocean.weather.gov/UA/Atl_Tropics.gif Tropical Wave+Trough = Systems likes to go boom :P
10:57:17
<Forestbewithyou> And that trough is going to get rid of my nice weather :(
10:57:28
<KorbenC> :P
10:57:35
<JarnoO> Korben, which trough are you talking about? The one over Africa or some kind of low somewhere?
10:57:38
<KorbenC> Are you talking about your rain you are getting?
10:57:43
<Forestbewithyou> No
10:57:57
<KorbenC> Jarno, there is a trough forming N of the gulf, and then probably going to move south.
10:58:07
<Forestbewithyou> The 70 degree highs
10:58:33
<KorbenC> Reed agrees with me, Eta will eject just ahead of it moving into the gulf.
10:58:45
<JarnoO> oh, the area of high pressure?
10:58:59
<KorbenC> No.
10:59:27
<JarnoO> Lion ns
10:59:33
<JarnoO> I think
10:59:40
<KorbenC> yes
10:59:49
<JarnoO> yes, looks like an ini
11:00:49
<KorbenC> JO, ahead of this front moving above me right now is an area of pretty much moonsoon conditions, Forest is going to get some of it on Thursday before part of it ejects as a trough. Not the strongest of trough, but will probably cover a long area.
11:01:02
<Forestbewithyou> :D
11:01:12
<Forestbewithyou> Finally some interesting weather here :D
11:01:27
<KorbenC> Could see some thunderstorm development with it too Forest.
11:01:55
<Forestbewithyou> Yee. The local meteorologist actually said that the other day.
11:01:59
<JarnoO> ah, like so
11:02:02
<Forestbewithyou> the idea of interesting weather
11:02:06
<KorbenC> JarnoO, give me a bit and I might be able to find Reeds conversation.
11:02:34
<KorbenC> I mean, Reed has nothing better to do than look at models, got tested for COVID yesterday, hopefully negative so he can go get Eta ASAP.
11:02:45
<JarnoO> 3m39s for OF. Expecting it early or just before window
11:04:18
<JarnoO> definitely initial for Lion
11:06:02
<GO STEAMBOAT> wow ALex Trebek just died - he had been battling cancer
11:06:12
<Forestbewithyou> What?
11:06:15
<Forestbewithyou> Oh my
11:06:36
<JarnoO> Riverside ie
11:06:49
<GO STEAMBOAT> yea, hehad still been working this year, they had Covid seperation on set
11:07:07
<KorbenC> JarnoO, the trough is probably why models show a big drop in system pressure from the 15th through the 19th.
11:08:09
<KorbenC> Its been an interesting weather year to say the least
11:08:52
<JarnoO> Eta at 60kt, also noted that it's forecast to be a hurricane before it reaches the Keys
11:11:35
<JarnoO> next Lion @ 1216±5m if series continues. 6m24s
11:14:11
<Forestbewithyou> Hi Betty
11:14:47
<Betty> hi Forest, hi all
11:16:35
<KorbenC> Hi Betty
11:18:39
<JarnoO> evening Betty
11:19:05
<Betty> hi Korben and Jarno
11:32:07
<JarnoO> a Daisy
11:32:14
<Betty> Daisy
11:32:59
<Betty> Aurum on static I think
11:37:44
<JarnoO> ±3m17s for Daisy. Probably is back at 2h+ intervals then. A shame, as I really wanted those ±1h50m intervals to continue for longer
11:39:24
<JarnoO> though on the other hand, it does look like Daisy's "base interval" has dropped to around 1h40m or so, down some 10 minutes since this summer
11:39:42
<KorbenC> :D
11:40:36
<JarnoO> Grand
11:40:46
<KorbenC> Nice
11:42:09
<JarnoO> wouldn't thus be a surprise historically if Daisy regularly shows up below 2h next summer and possibly even at intervals akin to before the early 2000s
11:42:33
<JarnoO> fingers crossed it also includes better activity by Splendid
11:42:39
<KorbenC> That would be nice of it
11:45:21
<KorbenC> I would enjoy seeing common 1h 45m intervals in the upcoming years, it would be splendid :)
11:48:56
<LJG> Hey
11:49:02
<LJG> Pretty
11:49:06
<JarnoO> afternoon Linda
11:49:11
<LJG> JarnoO, hi
11:49:13
<Forestbewithyou> Hi Linda
11:49:13
<KorbenC> Morning Linda
11:49:19
<Betty> hi Linda
11:49:24
<LJG> Hi Betty, Forestbewithyou, Forestbewithyou,
11:49:35
<LJG> Oops
11:49:50
<LJG> And kirvenC
11:49:57
<KorbenC> HAHA
11:50:05
<LJG> KorbenC, 😊
11:50:06
<Forestbewithyou> I guess I am extra important :D
11:50:17
<Forestbewithyou> :p
11:50:33
<LJG> 🙂
11:51:19
<JarnoO> b1 done
11:51:26
<JarnoO> looks like it'll be a one and done
11:52:51
<JarnoO> appears to be Q
11:59:02
<Forestbewithyou> well I am going outside to enjoy the weather bbl
11:59:53
<KorbenC> Cya Forest
12:00:02
<JarnoO> cya Forest
12:01:25
<KorbenC> Random question for you JO, when was the las ttime the netherlands got snow, and how often does it happen? I assume its not often because you have a really nice temperate climate, or am I mistaken?
12:02:20
<JarnoO> somewhere last winter we got some snow. January or something, maybe February
12:03:05
<KorbenC> :thumbsup:
12:07:42
<LJG> Its 75 degrees here!😳
12:14:18
<JarnoO> roar
12:20:55
<JarnoO> Lion ie
12:24:19
<Betty> what happened to YNM? and why is the trace at YNR starting to be thicker just the time YNM stopped?
12:25:33
<JarnoO> YNM is either a power outage or internet outage. YNR looks like it's having some mechanical noise
12:26:08
<JarnoO> don't think they are related
12:26:23
<Betty> it´s just the same time
12:26:42
<JarnoO> yeah, it happens
12:27:00
<JarnoO> if YNM's outage persists, it's YNR all the way
12:30:51
<JarnoO> 1222:46 for 4m23s
12:33:41
<KorbenC> Hey lljm
12:34:28
<lori lurking Je> Hey Korben
12:35:16
<JarnoO> afternoon LLJM
12:35:47
<Betty> hi Lori
12:36:09
<lori lurking Je> it is a good afternoon here- we have lovely weather.
12:38:19
<lori lurking Je> I know Korben is CO, can't remember where you are Jarno?
12:38:29
<JarnoO> Netherlands
12:39:08
<lori lurking Je> AH, I should remember that...
12:46:53
<KorbenC> and you are Iowa right?
12:47:30
<KorbenC> wow, I grammar bad today :)
12:47:39
<KorbenC> and you are from Iowa correct?
12:47:40
<KorbenC> :P
12:48:15
<JarnoO> such rudeness to ask if someone's a state. Tsk tsk
12:48:27
<KorbenC> haha, keyboard missed the from :P
12:49:17
<KorbenC> I guess keyboard had to choose from "and you are Iowa right?" and, "amf yoy ate grom Ipwa rihht?" :P
12:49:24
<lori lurking Je> Yes, southeast corner of Iowa. Born and raised within a 5 mile radius.
12:50:00
<KorbenC> Thats what I thought, I remember you saying that at SB when I finally figured out which Lori the both of you were :P
12:50:08
<lori lurking Je> And because I could read the second choice, I am a genius, correct :)
12:50:25
<KorbenC> Lori, yes!
12:59:35
<333> Storm missed OF
13:03:36
<JarnoO> I like the steam on Giantess
13:03:54
<JarnoO> even if it's somewhat expected due to the temperatures and humidity
13:05:02
<KorbenC> boil
13:12:42
<GO STEAMBOAT> looking nice out there now
13:13:20
<Betty> hi Graham
13:13:53
<GO STEAMBOAT> hello. how was your weekend Betty?
13:23:14
<Betty> I had a great weekend :-)
13:26:16
<Betty> hi 🍋, the trees are blooming?
13:30:08

13:31:51
<LJG> Doesnt look like much snow
13:33:25
<JarnoO> flower
13:34:00
<LJG> Lake still looks nice
13:36:01
<Betty> nice spikes
13:37:12
<KorbenC> Dvae is in Yellowstone!
13:41:09
<lori lurking Je> at Mammoth?
13:42:35
<KorbenC> no
13:42:44
<KorbenC> DaveM entered Daisy as in basin on accident.
13:48:22
<lori lurking Je> ah, good catch ;)
13:54:06
<GO STEAMBOAT> road to NE entranceis open now. took a while
13:55:03
<b> No lodging at OF this winter.
13:55:42
<b> I had already purchased my chickens :)
13:59:39
<GO STEAMBOAT> not sure if you can backcountry camp there ...
13:59:59
<GO STEAMBOAT> not that it really counts as "lodging"
14:12:00
<Betty> OF
14:17:13
<JarnoO> 1410:59 (late in the second)
15:31:44
<JarnoO> flower
15:31:48
<JarnoO> I thought
15:31:53
<KorbenC> ehm
15:32:06
<KorbenC> I guess not?
15:32:16
<JarnoO> nope, it was Comet
15:35:20
<KorbenC> :daisy:
15:35:29
<JarnoO> there it is
15:35:53
<GO STEAMBOAT> running just over 2h tday
15:38:43
<KorbenC> Hello Kent, good afternoon.
15:39:34
<Kent> GO, did you have Presidents' Day plans
15:39:44
<Kent> Hey Korben
15:56:44
<KorbenC> I like that G steam
16:00:56
<KorbenC> wow
16:44:41
<JarnoO> 30/40 (1), 0/30 (2) in the infamous basin
16:45:17
<KorbenC> :P
16:45:20
<KorbenC> Good name for it
16:55:03
<JarnoO> off for the day. Enjoy Riverside
16:55:25
<Sb> TTFN
16:55:39
<lori lurking Je> bye Jarno from the Netherlands!
16:59:34
<Forestbewithyou> Hi Linda
16:59:39
<LindaG> Hey hey
16:59:44
<LindaG> Forestbewithyou🌳🌴, hi
17:01:10
<LindaG> We need more snow
17:02:19
<KorbenC> I just got the perfect scrape! Caught the door on the way out, now 1/4 of my arm is already bruised and purple :P
17:02:31
<KorbenC> Bye Jarno
17:02:32
<Forestbewithyou> Oof
17:02:33
<KorbenC> Hi Forest
17:02:34
<KorbenC> Hi Linda
17:02:42
<Forestbewithyou> Hi Korben
17:02:45
<LindaG> KorbenC, hi
17:03:07
<LindaG> KorbenC, does it hurt?
17:03:19
<KorbenC> LindaG, no, arm is numb finally :P
17:03:43
<Forestbewithyou> Thats not good
17:05:39
<KorbenC> Hey Jeff
17:05:46
<Jeff> hey korben
17:06:02
<KorbenC> If DaveM is here, can we peak over at Beehive?
17:06:36
<KorbenC> Thank you
17:06:37
<KorbenC> !
17:06:49
<Jeff> korben did you see the photos i posted on facebook from my summer in the park?
17:07:14
<LindaG> Oh hi jeff
17:07:20
<Jeff> hey linda
17:07:39
<KorbenC> I did :D
17:08:08
<Jeff> I also posted a video of daisy and riverside from the final thermal thursday me and william hosted
17:08:08
<KorbenC> good Bee pics for certain
17:08:18
<Jeff> i like my castle photos
17:08:26
<KorbenC> Jeff, where are they?
17:08:56
<Jeff> the castle photos? i put in my album titled yellowstone 2020
17:09:08
<KorbenC> Daisy+Riverside
17:09:15
<Jeff> and im getting the link for my video for daisy and riverside. its all one video
17:09:34
<Jeff> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0hox-HC4fQ&t=58s heres the video of riverside and daisy i posted
17:10:26
<KorbenC> always love Riversides starts
17:10:47
<Jeff> i like the splash right before the start of riverside i got in this video
17:11:21
<KorbenC> Jeff, they are balways fun
17:11:23
<KorbenC> always
17:12:38
<Jeff> assuming i get to go back next summer i wanna try and get video footage of more geysers. i kept forgetting to grab my gopro when i went out to watch geysers this summer
17:12:49
<KorbenC> Aurum starts are fun
17:13:03
<KorbenC> love them, very "do I call it or no?" :P
17:13:12
<Jeff> i got one aurum start this year up close
17:13:18
<KorbenC> video?
17:13:37
<Jeff> nah but i had posted a photo on facebook. the day i got it
17:14:18
<KorbenC> Lion initial starts are my 2nd favorite starts, of course though, SB is #1
17:14:43
<Jeff> lion ini was the first geyser ive ever seen aside from the obvious
17:14:52
<KorbenC> yes
17:15:11
<Jeff> i got to see a lion ini immediately followed by beehive on a midnight hike around the boardwalk
17:15:19
<KorbenC> Love those
17:15:40
<KorbenC> Ive only seen 1 BH dual with anything else, BH+Lion+OF :)
17:16:11
<Jeff> seen lion then beehive is what got me into watching geysers
17:16:27
<Jeff> seeing*
17:16:43
<KorbenC> If you are back next summer, it would be fun to meet up.
17:17:16
<Jeff> i applied to go back next year so now im just waiting to hear back about an interview to go back
17:17:37
<Jeff> im hoping SB keeps going or giant comes back
17:17:54
<Jeff> the next geyser on my bucket list is F&M though
17:18:18
<KorbenC> I know there is many people who would disagree with me, but for me, every geyser start is different, way way different, and thats why I would rather watch geysers than wolves, because IMHO Wolves change slowly, while every geyser eruption is ever so different.
17:18:18
<Jeff> F&M and Morning are the 2 i wanna see
17:18:23
<KorbenC> F&M is awesome!
17:18:40
<Jeff> ive seen an event cycle but no eruption
17:18:59
<KorbenC> event cycle leading to an eruption is unforgetable.
17:19:25
<KorbenC> Have you seen Giant Jeff?
17:19:27
<Jeff> im glad i got to see SB and giantess this year though
17:19:39
<Jeff> yea i saw giant twice in 2018. once from start
17:19:43
<KorbenC> :thumbsup:
17:19:58
<KorbenC> I would like to see Giant start up again.
17:21:21
<Jeff> giantess was fun to watch from lower hams cause i could hear and feel it
17:21:29
<KorbenC> I bet it was.
17:23:15
<Jeff> id love to watch wolves for a few days to get some photos but id rather watch the geysers cause you never know what the experience will be
17:23:55
<KorbenC> My mentality: People can track wolves and know where they are at all times because of satellites, geysers you cant :P
17:25:07
<Jeff> and like with grand you never know if youre gonna get a single burst or a multi burst
17:25:22
<KorbenC> yup
17:27:07
<KorbenC> I mean, I spend on an average day in YNP, about 16 hours per day, usually 15.5hrs are spent in geyser basins or in transit between geyser basins. ;) :P
17:28:10
<Jeff> i couldnt do as much gazing this year as i wouldve like cause of how my bad my back was acting up but hopefully ill be able to get out more next year
17:28:28
<KorbenC> :thumbsup:
17:40:00
<LindaG> Yay
17:41:19
<Sb> 1740 more or less
