08:51:17
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Training
08:52:05
<LindaG> Kevin L™ 🌵, NICE
08:54:41
<LindaG> Daisy ie
08:54:57
<LindaG> at least it was entered in basin
08:57:50
<LindaG> Waters back in dep
08:59:49
<TomK> I'm ready to take the cam
09:00:17
<LindaG> TomK, all yours
09:00:26
<LindaG> controls released
09:00:38
<TomK> Thanks.
09:00:50
<LindaG> I just got Aof a little while ago
09:00:57
<LindaG> *OF
09:01:08
<TomK> Are we expecting Depression?
09:01:12
<LindaG> Daisy justberuoted
09:01:36
<LindaG> Everything else is up for grabs
09:04:37
<TomK> I'm not familiar with depression's behavior. does the water fiilling mean it will erupt soon? very soon?
09:06:33
<SantaFe108> TomK, not necessarily, Depression will cycle between overflowing, dropping, refilling, and overflowing again in-between eruptions
09:06:52
<SantaFe108> the cycles tend to get more powerful leading up to an eruption
09:08:00
<linda> depression erupting I rhink
09:08:09
<linda> looks quite hot
09:08:28
<TomK> I've seen it erupt, pointed it out while leading geyser hill walks, but never 'watched' it. Remember, I'm nor a true 'gazer' just a former ranger naturalist.
09:09:22
<TomK> Thanks for that info, SantaFe
09:09:34
<SantaFe108> no problem
09:13:23
<TomK> So i should have left the cam on it?
09:14:03
<SantaFe108> hm
09:16:12
<SantaFe108> Depression from a distance is hard to tell, because the difference between an eruption and any other kind of high-energy thingy is that an eruption always floods the entire platform 360°
09:16:20
<SantaFe108> heavily
09:16:41
<Dave from B™> Have a great Sauturday everyone. Time to do some shopping for work and then home to hang xmas decs when it is in the 60's instead of teens.
09:16:49
<SantaFe108> Cya Dave
09:18:58
<SantaFe108> TomK, someone who knows better when it comes to Dep is KorbenC, we have been observing it over the past couple months and trying to "figure out" its behavior
09:19:26
<SantaFe108> GHG-18
09:19:27
<SantaFe108> nice
09:34:37
<SantaFe108> That was Depression erupting :)

10:59:56
<Betty> makes sense
11:00:02
<7> Preemptive closing is the new normal
11:14:06
<TomK> Dirty word. I forgot that the Daisy pre-set is all wrong, so we missed Daiddy
11:14:30
<TomK> 'daisy'
11:15:33
<TomK> Meaa culpa.
11:15:48
<TomK> "mea culpa"
11:16:06
<TomK> Tipe funni sum tymes
11:18:17
<TomK> Daisy was ie around 1110, but I didn't note the exact time. did anybody get it? and please enter it in geyser times.
11:23:52
<Betty> there is the note for roads closing today
11:24:19

<kiawe (at work)> Aloha, y'all!
12:34:32
<SantaFe108> Aloha kiawe
12:35:17
<kiawe (at work)> Unless you have extensive winter driving experience, this looks like a day to stay home with hot chocolate, appropriately spiced or spiked.
12:35:44
<kiawe (at work)> or the cider option.
12:37:57
<kiawe (at work)> I gather that the power is on, and no more ravens have made it their mission to mess with the webcams.
12:51:28
<kiawe (at work)> I've been watching less than half an hour, and it's already starting to accumulate.
12:54:34
<Michelle> Hello everyone!
12:54:38
<kiawe (at work)> Aloha!
12:54:52

13:01:45
<Michelle> 63 here. The warm before the storm for us!
13:11:07
<GO SNOW> Looks like closing early is the right thing to do
13:11:21
<Michelle> What a way to end the season!
13:12:47
<kiawe (at work)> You have to be diehard or clueless to drive in this.
13:13:50
<Betty> hi Graham
13:14:24
<Betty> we can still see the benches
13:16:02
<Michelle> I Think we will be able to see Grand, not sure about Daisy
13:17:30
<GO SNOW> not snowing at West Gate
13:17:53
<kiawe (at work)> Intermittent whiteout.
13:18:22
<GO SNOW> storm must be south, Mammoth looks clear too
13:20:32
<kiawe (at work)> I can't tell if that's Sawmill blipping or just driven snow.
13:20:33
<GO STEAMBOAT> hello
13:20:42
<kiawe (at work)> Aloha!
13:20:58
<Michelle> Possibly Daisy back there

<GO STEAMBOAT> its time for snow
13:21:19
<Michelle> I can't tell
13:22:03
<Betty> there is daisy
13:22:08
<kiawe (at work)> Yep, Sawmill, and I think I see Tardy too between snow blasts.
13:22:30
<Michelle> No snow! We had snow last year!
13:23:23
<Michelle> Did I just make the snow slow down?😂😂
13:24:40
<Michelle> For a minute!
13:24:40
<Betty> you did :-)
13:25:48
<kiawe (at work)> *anti-snow dance*
13:27:32
<GO SNOW> one of the final crowds for OF
13:29:21
<kiawe (at work)> "thank you all for coming, now scram before you get snowed in!!"
13:29:46
<GO SNOW> not much chance of that, only a few inches forecast
13:30:27
<kiawe (at work)> To someone from SOCal, that's a blizzard.
13:33:45
<Michelle> So pretty with the snow!
13:35:18
<Michelle> Bubbler or pixels?
13:36:11
<Betty> bubbler
13:36:38
<GO STEAMBOAT> thats a big bubbler!
13:39:29
<Michelle> Snow is back!
13:42:00
<Michelle> I will keep checking BH
13:48:17
<Michelle> These snowflakes are worse than white shirts!😁
14:01:00
<GO SNOW> Grand must have been during OF
14:01:42
<GO SNOW> NPS prediction updated
14:03:24
<GO SNOW> looks like BH has a watcher
14:03:46
<Michelle> Thank you Go Snow!
14:04:05
<GO SNOW> you're welcome
14:04:25
<GO SNOW> glad it was reported in basin
14:11:28
<Michelle> I swear some of these snowflakes are falling up, not down!:)
14:16:42
<DanS> Brrr ... glad i was there last weekend.
14:17:03
<kiawe (at work)> sTEAM GOES UP, SNOW GOES DOWN, AND SIDEWAYS AND ROUND AND ROUND
14:18:25
<Michelle> Why does BH mess with me!!
14:19:50
<Michelle> I am seeing that south bubbler, right?
14:19:52
<kiawe (at work)> south bubbler appears active, but disappears when you zoom in.
14:21:30
<kiawe (at work)> It's all steamy and snowy, but the bubbler is going.
14:26:33
<Michelle> Just when I think I have all the steam down, someone throws in snow!
14:29:47
<Michelle> Well pixel and snowflake geysers have had at least 30 bursts!!😁
14:36:49
<kiawe (at work)> lol
14:37:42
<kiawe (at work)> I think I just saw the Abominable Snowman washing up in Marmot.
14:38:50
<Michelle> As long as he wasn't wearing a white shirt, he's goid!😂😂
14:39:25
<SantaFe108 2> :lol:
14:39:33
<Michelle> Good
14:59:34
<kiawe (at work)> no one wants to sit on the wet cold benches.
15:01:15
<Michelle> 😂😂
15:08:33
<Kevin iPad> Snow causes cancer.
15:09:39
<Michelle> Only when you sit and stare at it on a computer screen!
15:11:55
<kiawe (at work)> And remember not to eat the yellow snow! It is not shave ice!
15:13:12
<Michelle> Kevin uses lemons on his snow! Yellow snow!!:)
15:17:28
<Michelle> That's better
15:18:05
<Kitt> yuck, I am glad I didn't run in for the weekend
15:18:33
<Kitt> sometimes the weather report sounds worse than it really is
15:19:26
<Kitt> I have seen Steamboat in the snow, sounds awesome but not very photogenic
15:20:01
<Kitt> luckily it had stopped snowing
15:20:23
<Kitt> nice splash bee
15:21:40
<Kitt> so just the one bsb?

15:49:43
<SantaFe108> ghg-18*
15:50:00
<SantaFe108> very nice
15:50:11
<Michelle> Almost surreal with the snow
15:51:08
<SantaFe108> last time ghg-18 had a maj was after Dep
15:51:35
<SantaFe108> although even if we were to zoom in the snow would probably make it impossible to tell
15:51:54
<SantaFe108> and the steam
15:52:04
<Michelle> I would zoom, but with the snow, it just pixelates
15:59:34
<linda> signing in
15:59:53
<Michelle> Signing out
16:00:25
<linda> Michelle, thanks for driving

<Kevin iPad> They do.
18:05:28
<Betty> by Jack Arnold?
18:06:48
<Kevin iPad> I don’t know Betty. He hid under the caboose before we could ask.
18:07:25
<Betty> :-)
18:08:04
<SantaFe108> Kevin iPad, did you atleast check his ticket first?
