Is that ash cloud going to drift and stuff up the weather in America?

It is unclear yet. It depends on how long the eruption continues and how much material is spewed into the air. So far, they are saying that this eruption is not on a level with those that have disrupted weather (and other events) worldwide.

See answers from previous question.

Its not sure yet. I was just watching the news and its increasing though….

@erichw1504 thankyou, while I found that informative, I am more concerned about hot weather than travel

The prevailing winds make it unlikely but not impossible. The volcano is really not all that productive as volcanoes go.

@trailsillustrated Did you read the article that @erichw1504 posted a link to? It details some of the weather and cooling effects of past ash clouds.

I am watching the news on it right now, they’ve just said it is set to get worse. It has forced down half of Europe’s flights, tens of thousands of people are stranded. It is drifting east, and more countries are likely to be affected in the coming days. It has stretched from France, to Scandinavia to the edge of Russia.
My friends are trapped in Prague :(

But I doubt it will affect America. The map they are showing shows it moving progressively away from your direction, more in the direction of Asia.

I already answered a question about this ashcloud, but one of the points made was that it was on national radio here that when this volcano last erupted in 1820, there were sporadic eruptions for a further 18 months. Just tonight a prop driven plane sent up near the cloud reported that it was not good news – the cloud was a lot thicker than expected.
We have no idea how long this will go on.
