Christmas snow at the beginning of summer

Since Iceland became independent 79 years ago, it has only happened four times that the snow depth has been measured 10 centimeters or more in Reykjavík in April, like this morning. Of course Icelandic Times / Land & Saga ventured out and about to capture the mood early this morning. Just as well, because by noon the snow was mostly gone, as the sun was high in the sky, and exactly a week ago Icelanders celebrated the first day of summer.
