Chile gets hot!

Chilean volcano could spew for months

There was a time after my sister-in-law’s wedding back in '76 I felt like that. But by noon the next day I was inside out and it was over. Oh, the memories!(Thanks again to Aunt Margie, the Nurse at Bellvue’s Criminal Psych Ward for pulling me through. Then again, she had lots of experience—personal and professional.)

But back to the volcano.

All that ash and soot in the air. Bound to block some sunlight while aloft and absorb same once it settles on the snowcapped peaks nearby. Guess the outcome depends upon how much CO2 is also being spewed out and what sort of upper atmospheric winds there may be. Remember, Mt. St. Helen’s ash landed east of Chicago.
