She just keeps going, and going, and going...

Kinda like the Energizer Bunny, Mt. Redoubt doesn't wanna quit. So far flights into and out of Anchorage have been mostly cancelled. FedEx hasn't been coming in, as well as a lot of flights coming down from the slope. Our friends, Jim and Melissa, are suffering from that. Jim was supposed to fly back yesterday, but that flight, as well as today's, was cancelled. He's scheduled another flight for tomorrow, and Tim is scheduled to fly out to Montana on Sunday morning, so we're keeping our fingers crossed that the mountain settles down a bit. We haven't really seen any ash up here, though the Anchorage area is supposed to be seeing a bit. It did snow most of the morning and early afternoon, and ash could have been mixed with it, but it's hard to tell if it's ash or just the muck from Spring break-up. If she goes again, I'm going to try my hand at a little ashfall collection with some help from the AVO guys. Here's a few neat photos that were taken yesterday. I'm sure we'll see some more from this mornings blast, too.
