Is Mount St. Helens Blowing Steam Today ?

I just took a peek at Mount St. Helens Volcano Cam and was surpised by an image of steaming or smoke coming out. I have been unable to get a clear view for several days now because the image was all fogged up.

There were no news reports that I could find posted yet today.

Take a peek if you are curious.

Volcano Cam

What ever. Oh, well . . .

No, that's John Edwards.

It's been steaming continuously for weeks now as the dome-building continues. Nothing changed today. Of course, it's now cloudy basically 3 days out of 4.

Wash. State dems just dropped those provisional ballots into the caldron. They decided they didn't need them afterall.

Actually, the cloud this morning is different and looks to be ash instead of steam. The seismographs also indicate more activity, although it's still not at the level seen in early October.

Thimgs might be building to a head up there in the dome. I hope the local TV stations notice this and fly their helicopters around the mountain for some good close-ups today. I haven't seen pics of the dome up close for a couple of weeks.

I've been watching the cam since sunrise, there is definitely a different color to it, beige or brownish. Since it is quite cool here today, I would expect if it was steam, it would rise almost straight up, but it seems to be going over the crater rim and falling.

So I think it has a heavy ash content today. Visibility shoyld be good for the next 48 hours or so.

Mount St. Helens erupted with a plume of steam and ash on November 1st in this view looking north towards the mountain with Mt. Rainier in the background.

Mt. Rainier is Bigger than her much smaller sister near Oregon.
