Iceland pop collective Benni Hemm Hemmi knows snow. The song below, "Snjór ljós snjór" (translated: "Snow Light Snow"), captures the quiet calm that comes with falling snow, as well as that sense of barely contained excitement, making it the perfect song for a day like today.
Translated lyrics after the jump.
Snow light snow light
light snow light snow
Waves up the mountain and becomes a stone
Snow light snow light
light snow light snow
I can’t see a thing, I can’t see a thing
But I know that there is snow here
and I know that there is light here

not to be a twat, but iceland is not particularly snowy (or at least, not in reykjavik, where the vast majority of icelanders life) it has roughly the same winter high and low temperatures that philadelphia does. our average high in january is 47, theirs is 38.
