Default it is snowing

Yes it is snowing today in Reykjavik,a very cold polar air is flowing south.
it is caused by an 978 mbr low north east of Iceland.
after a warmest summer in 140 years,the shift is very harsh.
a week ago it was 15°c and almost full summer.
the temp in Reykjavik 3 a clock today is only 4,2°c.
at Akureyri only 1°c at the same time
Kirkjubæjarklaustur 8°c
the snow did melt at once it hit the green grass.
the trees where in full leaves when the north blitz began
only a faint fall color by some species.
they look rather porly now.
and some were blown down by strong wind force like a
10 meter high aspen trees in Akureyri.

so enjoy your 26°c in London.

Thor,Iceland
