Volcanic Eyjafjallajokull, in Southern Iceland, is reported to be erupting. According to the police in Selfoss, evacuation from adjacent farms has commenced. The Icelandic Meteorological Office has received reports of volcanic blaze in the glacier but no major earthquake activities have been recorded as of yet.

They said the volcano might continue eruption 2 years from, and the dust clouds will block the sun, this will bring Ice Age back..

This has been one of the most continually cold and wet Mays in Bountiful that I remember. We had snow Saturday morning w/sprinkles during the day. Cold drizzle going on now; maybe snow later on. I've thought there may be a connection with the volcanics in Iceland.

In contrast, it was the two hottest days of the year this week-end in the UK and I think I got a little heatstroke yesterday

Yeh, but isn't that following an extremely cold, snowy winter? At least in some parts of Britain?

Just woke up to about an inch of snow on the ground where I live in Bountiful. Still snowing.

Snow in May, weird. No, the snow here was long before the Volcano erupted.

It remains hot today though is supposed to turn cooler tomorrow.

It's unusually cold... about two inches here. I haven't even turned on the sprinklers or my swamp cooler yet. Weird.

I have read that Katla was the cause of the last mini Ice Age. Katla hasn't erupted yet this time around. My understanding is Katla is the "big sister" of Eyjafjallajokull, and that two of the last three times Katla went off, it was preceded by eruptions from Eyjafjallajokull.

There is no question we are having some weird weather. Which is worse, a year without a summer, or having to listen to Al Gore?

Build up that food storage!

Katla had a couple earthquakes a couple hours apart at the end of last week....but I haven't heard anything new on it...

Here's the latest and greatest on earthquake activity there...

Volcanic activity at Katla reported this website -
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index2.php

But I think the volcanic activity is limited to the single earthquakes reported there in the past 48 hours....

This was updated as of early this morning.

They are also forecasting a bigger than normal hurricane season. I wonder if the volcano blows how much it will really affect the weather.

question, if there are several large hurricanes that it the gulf coast region, what happens to all that oil............

A hurricane would be good because it'd disperse the oil

Disagree.

The vast majority of the oil is being suspended WELL below the surface due to the dispersants and chemicals they are applying to the spill. It might be nice to imagine a big wind coming in and leaving everything nice and clean in its wake, but a more accurate picture is a sink full of filthy water after cleaning a bunch of really greasy pans, the dish soap represents the dispersing agents, and then thinking that turning a ceiling fan on is going to help clean the sink.

Also, a hurricane is going to caryy a lot of that oil/dispersant/sea water inland and is going to add to the environmental damage - not only the massive destruction from the hurricane winds but a nice layer of oil coating the wreckage, the soil for hundreds of square miles

I agree. I think a hurricane would only make things worse. If it's in the water at least we can skim it but if a big hurricane came in who knows how far inland that oil would be spread. It will be an interesting summer.

I would assume the darker color would make the water retain more heat... Hurricanes love warm water...
