Oh wow!

[Glen C]

That is way cool!

Amazing! Now, will all of that material being thrown into the atmosphere produce a "nuclear winter" type effect?

[Dirk Skene]

Some of those shots were unnerving:crap:

Yes, all that SO2 and dust will get thrown into the atmosphere. Hopefully some of it makes it above the equator as it travels through the atmosphere so that those of us who ski can possible have an even better winter next season. As an avid skier, I am all for global cooling and "nuclear winters" :-)
