Preparing for the storm

Yesterdaymorning we went to fetch 4 horses in Ísólfsstaðir as the weatherforecast was rather bad, predicting quite some storm later that day and Sunday.

And as you know, it's not wise to travel with a trailer in such weatherconditions. So we went to fetch Farsæll, Þokki, Ösp and Sæla. All of them were easy to catch, which was rather a surprise. We had expected some difficulties getting the 2 younger ones. Now they are in a field close to Saltvík with good shelter and a big roundbale of hay.

In the afternoon we went for a few rides, always expecting the storm to come. It was rather cold, about -14°C. The horses got some extrahay and we had dinner at home. When we went feeding later the evening, there was still no storm, but the temperature had dropped to -16°C. We grabbed the chance and checked for Northernlights, too. They were not strong, but visible.

In the morning, there was still no storm, so we used the day to take care of the horses and take some pics.

Maybe there will be a storm tomorrow, we are at least prepared!
