I wondered if it was that or if it's just sitting lower in the crater, maybe not as much wind to blow it around....

Who knows. When it does though, it's gonna be big. How long have they been expecting an eruption for?

OK!! At 5pm CDT I am looking at what appears to be ash falling all over everyrthing. Am I imagining it or is is still just steam? I ask because earlier today it was obviously steam and this stuff is also brownish and appears to have settled all over the landscape and that wasn't happening this morning.

looked like ash to me, but the update from cascades observatory didn't mention too much ash.
and....
The seismographs have all mellowed considerably..like they did friday night.

I got my answer later in the evening in a report that did say and show there was quite a bit of ash with this venting. Some town 25 miles away got quite a dusting(nothing severe).

Yep, Randle got quite a dusting of ash. One of the USGS guys was talking on NPR yesterday afternoon and was trying to discourage the masses of people coming there to see a possible eruption. He said that it was very possible that the next eruption would spew ash and rocks as far as 9 miles away. Someone made a comment here yesterday that the observation site is 7 miles away and that's a safe distance. I knew it wasnt and the geologist confirmed that.
