Mt. St. Helens clears her throat
















Mt. St. Helens wakes up in time for the holidays, spewing clouds of ash and steam today.
Will update as needed.

UPDATE: Small steam eruption, nothing to see here folks, move along.

Cold weather combined with the ongoing release of vapor generated an impressive plume of steam Tuesday at Mount St. Helens. The mountain vented steam shortly before 1 p.m. The volcano has been undergoing a low-key eruption since September 2004.Vapor has been rising from the volcano since before it rumbled back to life. Cold still air Monday and Tuesday made it visible from farther away.
