From Iceland — Video: Spring Is Here: No, This Is Not An April Fool's Day Joke

Spring is here, and no, this is not an April Fool’s Day thing. It’s snowing. When Icelanders woke up this morning, we had five centimetres of snow outside in the city of Reykjavík, to our surprise.

The traffic was heavy but the day itself is beautiful. It’s safe to say that the city was like a winter wonderland this morning. Our photography editor, Art Bicnick, strapped on his snow boots and took this footage earlier this morning.
