If you like to ski, the season in Iceland should be starting soon (I tried to ski once about 30 years ago), as this article from R\u00daV indicates. Snow production at Hl\u00ed\u00f0arfjall<\/a>, one of Iceland’s main ski spots, has begun \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Snow began to be produced at Hl\u00ed\u00f0arfjall this weekend, but the mountain\u2019s Facebook page indicated that a few days of five-degree-below-freezing temperatures would be needed to get going.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mi\u00f0a\u00f0 vi\u00f0 ve\u00f0ursp\u00e1 stefnir \u00ed \u00e1g\u00e6tis framlei\u00f0slu \u00e1 n\u00e6stunni. Gangi allt eftir ver\u00f0ur sk\u00ed\u00f0asv\u00e6\u00f0i\u00f0 opna\u00f0 \u00ed lok m\u00e1na\u00f0arins.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the weather forecast is any indication there should be excellent snow-making ahead. If all goes as expected the ski area should open at the end of the month.<\/em><\/p>\n

I guess the main takeaway from the article is the word framlei\u00f0sla<\/strong>, which here is paired with the word for snow, but can also be used for just about anything you might want to produce, from iron (j\u00e1rn\u00b7framlei\u00f0sla<\/strong>) to chickens (kj\u00faklinga\u00b7framlei\u00f0sla<\/strong>) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As you might expect, there is also a verb form:<\/p>\n\n\n

The only other thing of note was the phrase gangi allt eftir<\/strong>, whose meaning I inferred from the dictionary entry<\/p>\n

\u00fea\u00f0 gekk ekki eftir<\/strong> – it did not turn out as expected<\/em><\/p>\n

Also note that gangi<\/strong> is the subjunctive form, I imagine due to the uncertainty implied.<\/p>\n
