Storm in Reykjavík: All roads in and out of the city are closed

A storm with heavy snowfall is raging in the city and people are strongly advised to stay indoors and avoid all travel by car. Parents are asked to pick up their children at the end of the school day to make sure children get home safely.

All roads in and out of the city are unpassable and according to the road administrations, conditions are very bad. Rescue teams are hard at work helping cars who are stuck in snow. 

It is very rare that all roads out of Reykjavik are unpassable at the same time.
