Did you not have an epic storm as recently as September when thousands of sheep were buried? I was just reading in the Iceland Review that they are compensating the farmers and that the public are giving donations as well. I know it's winter and it's Iceland but it seems odd. More evidence of that polar vortex ocurring also in Russia and Asia. And in Canada too. |

Even for snow-tards like Icelanders, this is extreme. Gotta love Iceland. If you ever flew their airline, you stopped there for refueling. Best ponies in teh world - Icelandic ponies. If they ever leave the island, they cannot be brought back. 100% pure icelandic ponies, 5-gaited from nature. Go Iceland! Stay safe. |

Not only Iceland but the Faeroes and Western Scotland going to be hit by this same storm system. I expect to see Reykjavik taking a battering given the city is facing North towards the onslaught. |
