I heard that Mt Redoubt erupted last night. Actually, I heard it from my daughter, Julie who lives in the Seattle area. She woke us up early this am with a phone call letting us know. :) I had to run to the window to see if I could see any ash on the freshly fallen snow. There wasn't any ash to be seen, so we escaped the ash fall in the Anchorage area for the time being. Hopefully, the mountain will settle down so we don't have to worry about it spreading ash everywhere. My hubby and I saw Mt Redoubt on Friday evening as we were driving up from Soldotna and saw a plume of steam coming from it. The mountain actually looked very small on the horizon but certainly spectacular. Our son, Jordan flew across the inlet with a friend on Friday to climb a mountain quite a few miles from Redoubt. They got back on Saturday, thankfully, just before a major snow storm that flew in. We got somewhere between 6-9 inches on new snow. OH MY, what a way to start the first day of spring!
