The ever changing Icelandic weather

The weather has been changing rapidly all over the country in the last few days. Roads have been getting blocked by the snow and traffic has been slow and difficult. Heavy snowfall, from a stationary low pressure weather system in the Greenland Strait, halfway between Iceland and Greenland. Real winter weather, real January weather, even in the capital. The weather was not good for photography, gray and blue light, but of course Land & Saga / Icelandic Times went out to capture the atmosphere, which was low-key. Here is the result, a sample of what we saw, from Hafnarfjörður to Hljómskálagarður in downtown Reykjavík.
