Ah, the polar vortex

Not to agitate my North American friends, but it's currently 7°C (45°F) here in Reykjavík and hasn't snowed all month. I haven't worn my big winter coat in a week.Our local mountain, Esjan, basically has no snow. Pic from earlier this month; less snow now!#iceland #climate#aurora #northernlights
