Isn't it a bit naive hoping for global warming? I mean, if you think about it, Iceland has alot of ice, and global warming means that ice is going to melt, well alot of it is, and that means flooding, rising sea levels and a decrease in land mass which will lead to molten lava being able to surface because of reduced pressure...as we have already seen, volcanic activity has started...with global warming, the Icelandic winter will be the least of problems:( Careful what you ask for cos you just might get...you just might get...

I WAS STATIONED IN KEFLAVIK, ICELAND FROM 1958 UNTIL 1959. I WAS IN THE AIR FORCE AND "SAC". I WAS SINGLE AT THE TIME, AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU,THAT I NEVER SAW AN UGLY WOMAN WHILE I WAS THERE. THE PEOPLE WERE A LITTLE "HARD TO GET TO KNOW. THE MEN, BUT CERTAINLY NOT THE LADIES. I WORKED FOR GEN.HENRY G. THORNE, THE BASE
COMMANDER. I LOVE ICELAND, THE PEOPLE AND THE BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDING. MY ONLY WISH BEFORE I DIE IS I WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK THERE FOR A VISIT. IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE YOU SHOULD GO, YOU WOULD LOVE IT.
SINCERELY,
CLAUDE MCBROOM SR.

What a tale. Please forgive me but...I couldn't help but wish I were boarded in with you and all your provisions. What an experience that would be! I love storms, although California storms are like a whisper to you I am sure. I certainly do not wish any of you or yours loss of life or limb. Hope it's over.

Well, summer officially ends at eighteen minutes after nine in the evening, your time tomorrow.

I, too, like a wild winter and burrowing in with books and paper for a long project.

On the other hand, I spent many winters driving over the Rocky Mountains in a semi. I still rather enjoy doing battle with the witches and demons of the wind and snow. Maybe I'll drive the Ring Road, someday.

Wow, I loved this description, and the analogy. How did you end up from Israel to Iceland?

2009-09-21T11:36:20.970Z

I can understand how the wind changes everything. Even though it is warm here, we usually only have sustained heavy winds during hurricanes. And something about it is very disturbing. Tree branches attack you if you dare leave the house for a day or two after the main hurricane is gone. Great piece - I feel as if I've been to Iceland now :)

2009-09-21T10:34:13.618Z

The most discussed topic here in Iceland is the weather. Whatever we are saying... a comment about the weather usually follows.

"Good morning. It is cold today."

"Hi grandmother, how are you? How is the weather there?"

"We might be going through some crisis but at least it is not raining today."

"If the weather will be ok, we will go to Reykjavík next weekend."

"Should we invite friends over for barbecue tomorrow IF the weather will be nice?"

Yes... the freaken weather :)

2009-09-21T08:11:23.600Z

Oh my god, may I know more infos about it? I don't really know anything about Iceland but the pictures are always pretty, so are the people. I have a friend from Iceland and when he visited here, he's like overwhelmed on how warm and hot it is. At first I'm pretty sure he would melt. Lol. All I know is a lot of you look so exotic, like pale ice fairies. Hope this doesn't offend you.

Where I live is basically sunny all year long, but global warming makes rainy season tad cooler. That's why I love it but I can't imagine being somewhere too cold like that. Hope you wear many clothes and pack enough foood and entertainment for the bunkering session :)

9guy

I am curious now as to why you live in Iceland,what made you move there?

That being said, living in NY state with busy-ness all around, I just might like to try a winter in your part of the world (just one mind you) There is something extraordinary to me about hunkering down inside with blankets and books and the wind howling around me. Ah but perhaps it is more romantic looking on than living through!

Your posts are interesting to me...thanks for expressing your thoughts so beautifully

2009-09-21T00:30:27.530Z

It's amazing how different it is where I live in Arizona. We are still experiencing triple digit heat! I long for some cooler weather. But maybe not too cold.

I must say you have an amazing way with words. Your description makes me cold and feel like I'm there. I will say a prayer that you are safe and stay inside in the heated house.

2009-09-20T23:00:31.738Z

This is the kind of climate that can really challenge me psychologically. I don't do very well with harsh winters, especially when they start so early and last forever!

2009-09-20T21:34:15.033Z

Forget about the winter, cold doesn't scare me. I lived in up state New York and it was colder than Iceland. Here it's the wind factor that changes everything.

We're not affected as badly as you but here in Wales we pray for global warming too!
We've just had a grey, cool and very drizzly summer - although so far September has been very nice!

Hey Guy - count on it! :)

Poor thing ((hugs)). It's raining cats and dogs in my neck of the woods and I'm thinking I better start working on a תיבת נח Tevat Noach.

I feel for you. I hate winter and especially snow. Give me sun and heat any day.

I hope the winter's not so bad for you this year.

2009-09-20T15:51:18.158Z

@The pale observer - The winter is long. Too long. For someone who came here from Israel even the summer sometimes feel like winter. For the most part I love winter but few degrees less won't do any harm

So meanwhile, peep us in your prayer's!
