Winds are not expected to die down until tomorrow night, first in the southwest.
The residents of Akureyri saw a substantial accumulation of snow yesterday, making travel difficult this morning. Bus services were behind schedule this morning, but all main roads have been cleared. Residential areas will be cleared later.
The road between Siglufjörður and Ólafsfjörður remains closed since yesterday due to risk of avalanche. Three avalanches fell on the road in that area yesterday. Residential areas are not believed to be at risk.
