10:26:09
Kitt it wasn't photogenic but I could see it

Kitt of course I ended up being more excited about snowshoeing to Artemisia and having it erupt within 25 min. of being there
10:27:37
Kitt Couldn't figure out what the low tone booms were, thought the snow cap on the one end was about to slide
10:28:25
Kitt hm, must have been a splash at bee
10:29:20
Kitt cool fluffy shadow on hill

AG Morning Dave.
11:05:40
Dave from B So, after thinking about 2012 Geyser Happenings, I would rate top 5 stories this way....
11:06:16
Dave from B 5. Two Giants remain quiet all year (Giant and Giantess)
11:06:34
Dave from B 4. Plume takes a few long naps
11:07:00
Dave from B 3. North Goggles provides a show in early summer
11:07:21
Dave from B 2. Grand intervals shorten for a month producing many 5 eruption days
11:07:24
ynpvisitor22 quit (timeout)
11:07:38
Dave from B 1. Morning wakes after a LONG nap
11:07:55
vw Pretty good list IMO, Dave.
11:08:23
AG I concur vw.
11:08:25
Dave from B It was a pretty exciting year for geysers
11:09:15
Dave from B I really loved being able to experience the short Grand intervals in person. I wish I would have made a point to catch 5 in one day like others.
11:09:19
missouri I like your list. Hate to admit that I missed all but four and five. But we only made one very short trip.
11:10:25

ynpvisitor72 I think it is grand now.
12:23:22

12:23:24
ynpvisitor96 That wouldn't be giant would it?
12:23:31
ynpvisitor72 nooooo
12:23:43
AG I think Giants more to the right, and at this temperature, the steam cloud would Dwarf that.
12:23:47
Dave from B I'm voting for Grand also
12:23:54
ynpvisitor72 Giant steam cloud because it is so freaking cold.
12:24:32
ynpvisitor72 guess it could be oblong...
12:24:47
AG It's one of the two. we know that.
12:25:05
ynpvisitor72 now it looks farther from the trees to me...?
12:25:28
ynpvisitor72 i think Grand would be more sustained, the cloud.

12:25:43

ynpvisitor72 Grand is predicted for 1115 AM
12:26:39
AG It's oblong. I see no spikes in there.
12:26:58
ynpvisitor72 chances are Grand already happened then.
12:27:21
ynpvisitor72 Not sure we would see spikes in this condition.
12:27:50
vw If that was Grand, we were long past time for spikes.
12:28:11
ynpvisitor72 well it spikes until it is done erupting, right?
12:28:36
vw Yes, but we had been watching if for about 15 minutes.
12:28:46
