South and south-west Iceland is covered with snow and the capital city woke up to a thick layer of white this morning. There is snowfall in Hellisheiði in South Iceland and roads are icy in most parts of the country. 

The temperature in the capital is -2 Celsius and the temperatures will get lower by evening.

Tomorrow sleet and rain is expected again in the city so now is the time to get out your toboggans!

Morgunblaðið photographer Golli took these lovely images of snow this morning in Laugardalur, a residential area of central Reykjavík.
