Yet rather thin but getting more hazy every hour, brown ash cloud from

Ash fall was heavy in many parts in southren Iceland today, even more
bleak than year ago, livestock is kept indors.
Airspace is shut, no flights today.
Ash could reach Scotland by tuesday.
Saw lightings in the ash plume 250 km away last night, quite a show it
was.

IIC the Blocking Highs started about then. But the events of the 18th
century lead to an year without summer. Not that that means Armageddon
or even anything like. Just not the best of weather in its seasons
more like.
