Photographer and fisherman Arnþór Einarsson shot this video yesterday of the weather in Súgandafjörður in the West Fjords. As you can see, there's not much to see at all, with snow blowing in all directions. A typical glimpse of Icelandic winter weather, at least this winter which has been particularly stormy. 

"Yesterday the weather was particularly crazy," says Einarsson who has lived in this remote fjord for six years.  He adds that the locals are used to it and not perturbed in the slightest. "Today's weather, however, is beautiful, with glimpses of blue sky. "

Here's Einarsson's video which he published on his Facebook page yesterday.
