Weather forecast, road conditions, earthquakes info in real time

In addition to the text version of weather report of the day I would like to offer visual version of it.

So first report - September 26, 2009 (same was yesterday - September 25th).
Five minutes of sun - five minutes of dark storm - etc. all day long.
Haven't figured out how to post the sound of wind

Holy crap, it's starting to snow in Iceland? When will it start to blanket the landscape? I'm about the experience my first Canadian winter. Apparently it'll dump it down here in London, Ontario, by late November.

[Alexander E.]

No, this is just hail. Nothing special. Might happen any time.
But not for three days in a row....

Thanks elín.
I'm posting them as an addition to weather reports in the blog - so readers could also SEE the weather here

[Alexander E.]

It was a first "official" snow in Reykjavik on Oct 5.
And this is how Esja looks next morning

The weather today is not something to be happy about...

First the wall of snow covered horizon

Finally!
After weeks of boring "kind-of-a-rain-and-wind" we've got real storm (gusts up to 150 km/h).
Unfortunately the wind is blowing from east - so the waves here, in Reykjavik, are not that spectacular (when they throw head-size stones from the sea bank to the road ~ 30-50 m). But anyway something (unless you have to go outside).


«Videy - Storm, October 9, 2009»

Sometimes Videy island disappears behind white "fog" created by wind and waves.


«Harbor - Storm, October 9, 2009»

Reykjavik harbor. The wind was good enough to speed up waves even inside small harbor. On the back - 4 whale hunters. Two of them (with white satellite domes on the top) were hunting this summer.


«Grotta, low tide»

But Grotta is looking so peaceful on the photo!
Because of low tide, sun (through the hole in the clouds) and a piece of blue sky on the back - just a perfect place to be (inside shaking car of course).
