Snow fall record in Reykjavik 2017. Driving early in the morning, no accident or crash.

I am from Australia and have never seen snow my whole life.To watch a video like this is like watching something made on a different planet.A couple of days ago it was 115F here and this is not even our hottest month.On hot days i like to watch snow videos to cool down.Thanks for sharing.

[@finnurth]

RICHY MARK NORMAN Thank you for watching and commenting! I would love to travel to Australia one day, so far I have not made it past the equator yet. I have experienced 115 F so I do know what your are talking about. I love warm climate but it's nice to be able to escape it! :) Yesterday I went for a 10K jogging run in -6 (21F) in the dark using studded(!) Asics running shoes...maybe I should film that at some point! :) Happy holidays!

[@richyearle007]

That would be good.The only thing i know about snow is ,do not eat that yellow snow..:).I am guessing to drive in these conditions would be like driving on a wet slippery dirt road and to not make any sudden steering actions or braking.Happy holiday season to you also and all the best for the New Year.

I am from India and there is snow in Kashmir state of India and in Himalyas but I have never seen snow in India until I went to England. In fact my first snow experience is while driving bicycle in Cambridge where it doesn't snow year on year so I was lucky to witness it.

[@XYZUNKNOWN]

ubmokiran if you'd have been in England in December 2010 and January 2013, March 2013 and February 2009, you would have seen similar if not more snow than that in this video

[@ubmokiran]

@David Allen Yes through BBC recent years England has seen heavy snow than the times I lived in England. I am planning to come to England and buy a house in London :) or if possible you can advice me which is the best place to live in London. Where will the house price be lower in London. You can also tell me any place closer to London. Thanks in advance. Cheers

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Here in the tropics our water comes in torrents for days or weeks at a time.

[@christinejones7362]

Oh my goodness!!!! That snow storm was very dangerous to drive in!!! I was virtual driving with you and I was scared because that snow got so bad that I couldn't see the surroundings like buildings and trees. All I seen was fog and thick white snow coming at you. That was good that you were calm enough to keep driving cause I could see the road and the car back lights that were in front of you. Man I have anxiety, that kind of driving brought it out.

[@forkof8690]

Amazing. I love snow winter.

[@lorenaherreraechazu8420]

Gracias por mostrarnos lo bella que es la nieve

[@jambocoo]

Wow, awesome snow and that honda of yours is certainly a dependable vehicle for the snow. Living in the state of West Virginia in the US, we do get some snow but nothing like that for years now. I love the beauty of it but of course like you having to deal with the weight on the roof is not something I would want either. Thanks for sharing, enjoyed the video.

[@finnurth]

Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@joelwalden5504]

Very nice video. It's amazing how indistinguishable your drive is from much of the USA! Looks like my hometown in Idaho. :-)

[@finnurth]

Thank you!

[@mistressaya]

Looks like a regular winter morning drive where I am in NY (gotta love lake effect snow.)😅 A good set of tires are definitely a must for these conditions.

[@finnurth]

Exactly!

[@jasper1428]

Great video, thanks for this!

[@tsiamitrosgiannis4474]

Great job my friend. Thanks

[@susanthomas300]

Love this video!!!

[@cindyturpitz3256]

Great Video.greetings from germany

[@finnurth]

Thank you!

[@lortallica]

Driving i the snow thats the real fun.

[@Pocono_Pits]

Ha I used to love it. Now its just a pain in the butt! Strange how we change as we get older.

[@futmut1000]

Damn those tires must be amazing...

[@finnurth]

They are! :)

[@fasx56]

What was the temperature during this snowstorm, the snow looks fairly dry, did it drift much.?

[@2naturesownplace]

makes me sad... haven't been there since 2006.. I need a good soak in the lagoon!

[@finnurth]

Just come again! Much changed since 2006, lots of more flights and cheap options of getting here!

[@yogiaol]

The same as in Bulgaria once twise every winter.

[@tristanprice7236]

Great country, magic people, lovely city. If this happened, or even a quarter of this happened in UK everything would shut down. Can't wait to come back to Iceland. I just wish it wasn't so expensive for poor Brits. Takk fyrir að senda myndskeiðið

[@finnurth]

Thank you for watching and commenting! Iceland is at its peak when it comes to its economy right now. Usually things will come down, hopefully not too dramatically! The GBP has also been recovering a bit so I think Iceland will become slightly cheaper in the near future for Brits.

[@Franporky19]

It is quite weird to watch this while it's like 24°C at 10PM

[@sweetashoney8297]

😻⛄️❄️

[@niccolehoody7317]

Wow 💖💟

[@jonyq]

Didn’t expect to hear a rather familiar singaporean accent while watching this video.

[@finnurth]

So true!

[@jerrycollins5501]

I love snow

[@tobyw.1688]

How cold was it during the snowstorm?

[@finnurth]

Not so cold actually, it was -3 C.

[@tilozoru1255]

If this is Summer, I can't even imagine Winter in Reykjavik! lol

[@finnurth]

This is actually in February so it's winter!

[@jorgecp8595]

Why were you driving back and forth by the end of the video?

[@finnurth]

I was "clearing" the drive way. Much easier like this than to use a shovel!

[@jorgecp8595]

thank you for the video and the reply :)

[@karburator2778]

wow

[@jetlee1956]

drive safety ^^

[@kentallyn2880]

...and the staff getting to work was worth risking vehicular disaster and personal injury? Why not take a snow day? I mean, you don't mention the vocation of yourself nor of the staff...so if you're emergency room staff, ok, that could be essential. Otherwise...day off!

[@finnurth]

There would be so many offdays then...society would not function and we are in a way used to it we have most of the time proper gear.

[@kentallyn2880]

@@finnurth it *does* make more sense when geographic norms are considered. I guess I was thinking about local conditions where the snow issue is usually resolved in a few days, rarely longer than a week.

[@Gamer_Tanks]

Praise the Lord he helped you get to your destination safely!!!!!!!

[@dleesman513]

Those wipers are screaming to be turned down for fuck sake man

[@finnurth]

Yes, they are being abused!

[@einsteincasino8539]

You need to stay off of the roads in this type of weather.

[@finnurth]

Einstein Casino Still have to attend to work! :)

[@einsteincasino8539]

A job is not worth your life! And if you have an accident, you're jeopardizing others who have to try and rescue you. I just call in a sick day!😉 BE SAFE!!!

[@finnurth]

Well I stayed safe, it is a question of driving according to the conditions and with the proper car and tires. People can not just call in sick, then they can not show up to do their duties at the hospitals and countless other work places!

[@einsteincasino8539]

Luckily, I don't work at a hospital! :-D

[@zachary3590]

acu sudentu crashu

[@snowwwwhite]

to ask your employees to get to work in conditions like that is seriously irresponsible!

[@finnurth]

Snoww Wwhite Imagine if you travel on vacation to a another country and wake up in the hotel just to see that the Hotel has no staff, no service, no breakfast just because the staff stayed home. Some tourists would understand, some would be seriously displeased since they payed for the service and expect it no matter the situation. I do believe that the level of service was worse this day since some staff did not make it. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@borkoalkoholtariiisk]

In northern countries this kind of weather is normal,so it is normal to be expected to go to work and from it.I live in Bulgaria and for the past 3 winters i drove my father's renault scenic in such conditions to work and back.It was equipped with nexen winguard tires and it drove normal in such conditions(ofcourse with some common sense while behind the wheel).I can't wait winter and snow to come back this year so now i can drive my own alfa 156 with my nokian's.I don't know,i like driving in the snow, especially late in the evening when it's dark and calm,and roads are quite clear of traffic.I feel it like calm and adventures experience.It's just you,the car and the weather snowing and snowing....it makes me happy,calm and excited at the same time,the same as i like to have a lot of snow and to be cold on Christmas (maybe i still have the kiddo inside of me),i just can't explain it.

[@hermanhayes750]

With so few people living isolated on an Island in the Atlantic there must be a lot of inbreeding going on in Iceland.

[@finnurth]

Herman Hayes Historically yes, but now we are "blending" a lot more with the outside world! :)

[@haywood12]

They have an app to prevent that from happening

[@zachary3590]

That chic has one irritating voice.

[@benconway9010]

Seriously why the hell did u think it was ok to try and drive in this deep snow should of just stayed at home where it was safer cos ok u have to get to work but there is a time when u just cant beat nature and this was it and u could of been stranded at work if got any worse

[@finnurth]

Ben Conway I thought I "beat" nature pretty easily in this video, don't you think? :)

[@haywood12]

Not really bad conditions just snowing and the roads haven't been cleared properly. When you can't see the next lightpole then were talking about bad conditions.
