Time for Pix-o-the-Day (maybe I should start a photoblog):
Remember the one in Lansing? Here's one in Battle Creek.
Yesterday, it looked as though Winter is dying.
Today, not so much.
Laters, y'all.

I know we had lots of ash in Portland, too...but not three feet.
But bein' little...I just thought it was neat looking. I was only three and a half, so my memory is pretty limited. ;-)
There saying 36,000 feet.
~laughing at your posts and South Park guy~
This will likely ruin this year's cuttings of Eastern Washington hay from where ever it lands. Will be too dusty to feed. They may get later cuttings if they plow it under and re-seed. Other crops are probably not planted yet and will be better.
Indeed! The enviroweenies outta go be sure that Karl Rove isn't up there pouring evil chemicals into the volcano to stir up trouble. :-D
I was a senior in high school, on a band trip to Victoria, B.C. for a parade when it went off in 80. We got back to the bus after the parade and the driver was listening to CBC news.
CBC said that lava was pouring out and covering most of western washington, and pouring into puget sound, and that "volcanic bombs the size of volkswagens are falling on Seattle". I remember those words like they were yesterday.
None of which was, or course, true. But it had us a little shaken up nonetheless.
Gee, ya think? You'd think they'd get their facts at least SORT of lined up before spouting off like that....
Looks like the plume is going mostly straight NE. If that holds, there's alot less wheat that direction, than say, due east.
I've been looking for a path prediction... what are you watching?
In '80, didn't it do some small eruptions (or whatever the correct term is) like this before the big one?
I wonder if it's just warming up?
That was on KOMO, but just before they went to ABC at 6.
Maybe, except most of the mountain's mass is already gone. If you look in it, the mountain is hollow. We won't get the same level of mudflow as before.
Did I miss anything?
You'd think they could get it right, since they're not really even that far away. But it is right up there with every other observation I've ever made of news media "accuracy". Every *single* time I've ever had inside or onsite information of something that was reported in the news there has been at least one *material* error or omission that would cast the event in a materially different light. For example: A particular rescue of a big tugboat off the coast of Oregon... was reported in the local paper. They got the name of the boat wrong, the names of the crew wrong, the dates wrong, and the basic nature of their steerage problem wrong. Lucky they had a picture of the boat, or we wouldn't have thought it was the same story.
Not much goin' on here. You?

Apparently you missed a volcanic eruption. So did I. Sheesh, go to choir and what happens?
Hullo all. Evening. I am, hallelujah, done with midterms. Choir was great fun, it's nice to sing with a bunch of people who can more or less sight read, and we're doing a lot of great hymns for Good Friday. Not started on much Easter stuff yet, but who can ask for more than "O Sacred Head", "Stricken, Smitten and Afflicted" or "How Deep the Father's Love"?
