Desktop wallpapers
When I sat down at my computer this morning, it was -15º F outside. I decided to put Iceland wallpaper on my computer to commemorate this, until I learned that the average winter temperature in Iceland is 31º F. Practically tropical. Heh. Oh well. Get these wallpapers and others here at PokedStudio.

Yep. Iceland and Greenland pretty much got their names switched at birth.
Gee, if you aren't careful, you'll be competing with our -26° of yesterday morning!

you probably got smth mixed up "The average temperature of the warmest month, July, exceeds 10°C in the lowlands of southern and western Iceland, but is below that in other parts of the country. This makes the larger part of Iceland belonging to the arctic climate zone. The warmest summer days around Iceland can reach 20-25°C, with the absolutely highest temperatures recorded at around +30°C." source http://www3.hi.is/~oi/climate_in_iceland.htm
My poor brain cannot comprehend this Celsius temperature scale you speak of! You may as well tell me in Kelvins :)
iceland is green and greenland is ice.
Great wall paper and such a funny post! We are at -10 degrees F in Montreal! Michelle :)
I have to agree with your beloved mother, Jess; you Chicagoans are, to quote from a commercial of my youth, "wimpy, wimpy, wimpy!" compared to we up here in Baja Manitoba.
I swear it was Iceland here today, with temps of -25. Brrrr
Jess, your "beloved mother" did not say you were wimpy! Not even close! Read it again to make sure! I think ol' Al was seein' things what weren't there!!!
('Course you 'have' gotten kinda wimpy in your old age. It's just that I didn't say that before.)
;-D
I will deflect all blame unto myself for the "wimpy" quote; we all *know* Beloved Grandma G would never make such an accusation of her own child.
At least not as overtly as a friend from college, who hides behind a facade of gentility and good manners.
Srsly! What is up with this weather? My friends in CA were laughing at me because I was excited that it was going to be in the 20s this weekend.
Hi Jessica,
I finally ordered one of your fabrics, which is not that easy, in the Netherlands it is hard to find!
But via Caroline creative I managed ;)
I don't know yet what to make, but it will be nice ;)
I'm trying to talk friends into a trip to Iceland. There's a travel special $500 for double occupancy, but it ends in March. Kismet! I *must* go now!
I'm so jealous of all of you! here in good old south australia it's 106F and tomorrow is going to be the same :-(
i'm going to put the iceland desktop on my computer and dream a little dream :-)
-15 F? Pah! We've hit -49 F this winter.
I just stumbled over here from Apartment Therapy (LOVE your house, by the way) and I don't even know where to start. What a great blog! I think my first project might be the chocolate cake in a mug (the blogger-revised recipe, of course).
Go to Iceland! I went last month and it's the nicest and most interesting place! Gorgeous food, too.
Holly Noelle, where do you live? The north pole? In an ice fishing shack? :)
NoeK, fabulous. Anne, welcome. Uh, here's the part where I wish I had time to write a personal note back to each commenter but I don't. So hello, everybody, and I love that you left messages!
my goodness. that sure is cold! i can't even imagine what that low a temperature must feel like!
I love your blog!
Jess, I suppose I should point out that, with the temperatures we hit up here in Baja Manitoba, our distinguished alma mater still didn't close.
Always looking out for the safety of their students, that's the U!
