Winter services today

Winter services have progressed well so far today. Reykjavík had heavy snowfall from 5am last night, causing significant road conditions, especially in the eastern part of the city. Crews were called out for both streets and paths as is standard in these conditions. Clearing of residential streets began this morning and is progressing well. Less-traveled walking and cycling routes are expected to be cleared tomorrow morning.

Hopefully, the entire system will be in top shape by noon tomorrow, New Year's Eve. Weather forecasts for the coming days predict northerly winds with very cold temperatures but light winds. There is a lot of loose snow on the ground, so expect drifting in some areas if wind picks up. The City's winter services team urges people to be careful in traffic and to submit a suggestion on the City's Suggestion Portal if any issues arise with the services. Finally, the team wishes city residents a happy new year.
