    I'm not a huge volcanic expert, but think we're only a few hours away from quite the eruption. Immense earthquakes going on there. 

    I think you are right, or even sooner. Are you on the web cam youtube page? 

     

    They've closed the road past the Blue Lagoon to Grindavik, there is a lot of traffic evacuating

    A state of emergency has also just been declared for the Grindavík / Svartsengi area as the earthquakes continue. No eruption is happening, or is imminent. Just a precaution at this point, and wanting people to be vigilant.

    Probably older than that, depending on how severity is rated. We'd have to go back to the mid-80s to find more severe winters. My weather memories start at age 6, so if we assume that's typical, amd the youngest people who remember January 1987 would have had their 6th birthdays in 1986, then you'd have to be a couple of years into your forties to remember anything more severe, and probably over 45 to really clearly remember the run of mid-80s winters in any form of detail.

    It does have to be said though that the second half of 09/10 was somewhat disappointing in the far south: persistently cold but zero snow, and February had many days of cold rain and dull. The low track was just that little bit too far south!

    I agree, here's a photo I took in November 2009, and this was as bad as it got here, and yet 20 miles away, they had a foot or more of snow that lasted weeks :-(

    I know, same here. Not sure where the 18Z got its nickname from (apart from the obvious) as it clearly doesn’t churn out anything wildly different to the other 3 run per day. 

    Isn't it more due to the fact that a lot of NW punters, have possibly had a few glasses of wine before watching the pub run, and are more inclined to hyperbole (I'm guilty!)?

    It's exciting to see snowmageddon when you are a bit tipsy :-p
