Volcanic Winter Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Thanks! Yeah, we’ve yet to do a summer trip. Allure of the northern lights are too intoxicating, plus for me the climate is pretty much perfect this time of year. Can do a strenuous hike and maintain temperature equilibrium well enough you’re not sweating bullets . Iceland with snowcover is also spectacular, especially in the north where we went after our volcano hike last year. Gives the appropriate sense of being near the polar latitudes. Summer has its charms too with the unexpected lush/greenness, midnight sun, and extremely mild temps which is more the speed of most. But the country is a geologic/volcanic wonderland and presents one of the most unique environments on the planet (mid ocean ridge on top of a powerful hotspot).

That beer is just perfect for a backcountry break Einstök makes some really solid, fun beers. I love their take on a dopplebock! Garún stout from Borg is one of Iceland’s finest, too. One of the best stouts I’ve ever had, and it’ll knock you on your ass! Perhaps not so great for hiking, but a solid choice for later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Mailman Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 the best thing about falling back is that the model runs come out an hour earlier. It's much easier to stay up for the 0z EURO in the winter than it is in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Annual public service announcement: Beware of long-range maps (especially those calling for cold and snow) and proclamations of imminent sudden or major stratospheric warming events on social media. Beyond two weeks, the maps have little skill. Beyond 7-10 days, forecasts for stratospheric warming events also have low skill. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
