The storm in pictures
The traffic in the city was catastrophic yesterday when numerous cars got stuck in the snow. Long queues of cars formed in several places, especially in Kópavogur and Hafnarfjörður. Here you can see people abandoning their car and taking to their own two feet. Mbl.is/ Ómar Óskarsson
All roads in and out of Reykjavík were closed yesterday and the weather today continues to be bad around the country. Traffic is heavy in Reykjavik due to difficult road conditions and travel around the country today is not advised. Here's a look at the weather in Reykjavik yesterday pictured by Mbl.is
