However I do know about the Iceland volcano thing (Mount what-ever-its-name-is) and I know the ash cloud from it attacked Europe. Now I am not sure if it's cleared up or not, but I hope it has. And I also hope that everyone is okay and no one got hurt or anything. You can never tell with volcanoes...
Anyway, on the plus side...maybe you can make some ash-men or something lol (you know instead of snowmen :P)
