If you rewind the live feed a bit you can see the glow of the eruption at the top of the mountain. I also caught some ash cloud lightning.

Any effects are going to be minimal if they are measurable at all. Volcanic cooling events tend to be the very very large variety that only happen once every few hundred thousand years or so. The 2010 Iceland eruptions didn't produce any noticeable cooling effect, for instance.

I had it up at work yesterday and checked every once in a while and saw both of those effects. Pretty awesome.
It's rare, but way more common that that. There was one massive volcanic winter just 200 years ago, The Year Without A Summer (link below). The last time this volcano erupted in the 1960s is decreased global temps between .1C and .2C. Every little bit helps!
