Besides studying igneous rocks or researching a trip to Hawaii, you
don't hear so much about volcanoes these days. But lack of discussion is no reason to believe that winter weather is worse than experiencing a volcanic eruption.
Even if there is opportunity to
evacuate, which is more likely today than back in the time of Pompeii, what about your house melting or all that ash in the atmosphere? It wasn't too long
ago that a huge plume of ash from Eyjafjallajokul (a volcano in Iceland) cut off direct air travel to Europe for days. Even ignoring the effects on international travel, all that stuff floating around in the atmosphere sounds like an unhealthy mess.
