I mean yeah that's almost three feet of snow, it would have been awful

Weather Underground claims at one point in this storm it's going to rain half an inch in an hour, how would that compare to, say, taking a shower?

maybe one of those newfangled water saving showers.

Don't really know much about fissures eruptions so looked it up. Apparently fissure eruption are not exactly rare in Iceland:

https://volcanoes.sdsu.edu/Fissure.html posted:

Because Iceland is the subaerial extension of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, it is one of the world's most active sites for basaltic fissure eruptions. For this reason, fissure eruptions are also known as Icelandic eruptions. The largest lava flow in recorded history was generated by a fissure eruption in south central Iceland in 1783. Known as the Laki flow, it erupted from a 25-kilometer-long fissure to produce 12 cubic kilometers of lava, filling two deep river valleys and covering an area greater than 500 square kilometers.

lava is so sick but would be terrifying to live near (fissures or volcanoes)

Quick question how much duct tape does Iceland have, as man if they don't have a lot they may need to order in some more to try and close up that gap.
