I believe the weight of the snow is minuscule to the power of a hot headed volcano!

The temperature of snow is keeping the mountain cool? Against a hot magma of how thousands of degrees?

Unbelievable!

Thousands? I thought it was a million. /s

The fact that the volcano is erupting proves that, however, the weight of the ice and snow is not insignifcant. It is enough to cause 'extra' pressure to have to build up before it can erupt, and once it's thrown the ice and snow away it can really blow.

Where the hell have you been? Al Gore, winner of the Nobel Prize, has told us that the Earth's core is "MILLIONS of Degrees."

Try and keep up with Science, willya. In fact, I have just received a $14 Billion Stimulus Grant to put like these really big freezers on that nasty Mt. St.Helen volcano. As soon as I find a reputable Female Environmental Scientist of Color to head up the project, we be coolin' that big sucka way down. Volcano? What Volcano?

Peace in the Valley, Baby!

Wait ...didn’t Al Gore say it was millions of degrees down there?
