Default [OT] - Mt St Helens USA - effects on weather

I was pondering this this morning. If debris gets injected into the stratosphere
in any large quantities then I would say that next summer could be a lot cooler
(and perhaps wetter) than normal. Major volcano eruptions tend to cool the earth
temporarily. The eruption could be too late now to give us a cold winter as it
takes time for the debris to spread out in the upper atmosphere.

I understand that Mt St Helens is likely to blow any day now - any thoughts
on how this will change our weather this Autumn, or will it have to be a
huge event to have any effect here ?
