PACKING SMART FOR ICELAND – A BUCKET-LIST TRIP COMING TRUE
Iceland in February? Yes, please! It’s definitely the coldest time of year to visit, but I truly believe that with the right gear, you can travel anywhere….. no matter the conditions. Iceland has been on my bucket-list for awhile, so needless-to-say I’m super excited! Packing for this trip has been a whole new adventure for me, because I haven’t had to deal with cold-weather dressing for a long time. Have you been to Iceland?
The average low temps this time of year in Iceland, are from about 28-38 degrees F. That’s cold, but then adding in the wind chill and any crazy storms, it can easily feel below zero! Definitely cold! Since living here in the desert in Southern Utah, I’ve gotten very wimpy in any kind of cold weather. So this trip will be a challenge for me that way, BUT I’M ALL IN and couldn’t be more excited!
NOTE– The weather in Iceland is changing every couple of days. At the moment, it’s not looking too cold, but lots of snow. I’ve packed everything to layer on and off, and mix and match, so I’ll definitely be covered for different weather conditions.
