Ashfall

So yesterday around 6 in the evening we got the warning that Mt. Redoubt had errupted yet again. But unlike all the other erruptions we found out that there was a Ash cloud headed our way and we were going to get some ashfall out of it. So I took the dogs outside to wear them out before the cloud got here and get them a last potty break outside since they would have to use the garage til the ashfall was over. It was very strange you could see the ash cloud coming up the valley. Thank goodness we already had the neccessary supplies ie water and food. I covered up the tvs at bedtime. As well as putting damp towels at the bottom of the doors. It has been a very interesting going thru this volcano thing.

I just thought this was a cool pic. The white of course is the snow under the ash. I thought it would look more like snow falling and it just was not like that. The particals in the air are so fine you don't see them you can smell the sulfur in the air but you don't see it. Then all of a sudden when you look out the window the snow has this weird grey tint to it. All our pretty white perfect snow now looks just gross. Oh well atleast it is Alaska and we should be getting more snow soon lol.
