Be safe Eye of Unk...prayers are w/you folks up in Alaska (and Gov. Palin).
Thank you for your concern. If we do get a substantial ashfall its going to get absorbed into the snow pack and during the spring thaw and warmup will create the worst problems, right now we are getting periodic snowfalls that is trapping the ash in layers, also it darkens the snow which as our days here in Alaska are growing by 5 minutes per day will let the sunlight melt the snow faster, we could get an early cooler breakup of the winter ice on the rivers or some major flooding, it does have me worried somewhat.
