icelandpictures: Kids walking to school in Iceland There has been some serious weather in Iceland in the past few days, very strong winds, lots of snow and ice. As posted before, there has been plenty of snow in the past few weeks, then on Saturday it began raining heavily. The rain caused the snow to rapidly melt, flooding streets and cellars. Before it had all melted it froze up and began snowing again. This means that all the streets have a thick layer of solid ice covered up with lots of snow. That is just about the most slippery conditions you can get. For the past two days, the wind has really picked up, in many places averaging around 30 m/s (110 km/h, 70mph) and gusting much higher. This has caused stationary cars parked on ice to start skating around town. Quite interesting. These pictures are all taken by Valdi and published by the Icelandic news site Vísir.is. Check out this video of taken by two news reporters driving on the Hellisheiði plateau just outside Reykjavík. Their car spins off the road in the icy conditions (just click the “Horfa á myndskeið með frétt” button. Yikes!

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
