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....

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.

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.
