Let it Snow...Let it Snow...Let it Snow...!







My Girlfriend and I arrived- Iceland 4am. It took a while for us to land due to freak blizzard conditions. Upon arrival we popped to the loo, she had a few fags in a smoking booth thingy and when we left the airport we soon discovered we were stranded!
The last bus had gone, and there we were ... it was minus 15c 4am and the worst blizzard they had had for years ! I was in seventh heaven!!
We managed to get a snow dredger/taxi thingy in the end - there was no road to be seen, we might not be able to get through to town and we were the only vehicle.. I was like a kid this was pure adventure! The Girlfriend wasn't quite as excited as me!!! (quite the opposite infact!!)
I hope you like the pics it was like being in a moving postcard- beautiful.
I SO want it to snow here. Not quite the same in London though!!

Iceland! Very cool! Great shots too. ... I'm thinking you'd be a good one to have around in a disaster. Could get anoying though, all that levity when everyone else is panicking. (chuckle) Still, every thing worked out and you got some great shots too boot. ... I've got my fingers crossed that you'll get snow for Christmas. :)
