Iceland had a strong volcanic eruption this week and I was wondering...

will this affect the weather in Europe and America this year?

Well, the volcanic ash cloud has pretty much shut down all air traffic over Northern Europe and no one knows exactly when the airspace will be open again. I'm fairly certain such an ash cloud will also effect weather patterns around the world, too... :eek:

Looks like we won't be having a Summer here...that or a VERY bad Winter.

Here's some interesting information about "The Year Without a Summer" in 1816 after the volcanic eruption of Mt. Tambora in Indonesia.
