March? Wow. Was it cold then? That's great that they worked so hard to get you to the Northern Lights! It's so on the top of my bucket list! I'll check out that walking tour, too.
Ooo! That sounds interesting, too! I'll check it out. Thanks!

It really wasn't very cold, but the weather was very strange and unpredictable. In Reykjavik it would be in the 50's and sunny and then all of sudden a cloud would come up and it might rain or it might turn into gale force winds pelting you with ice. That happened on our first day and I thought we were going to be blown away or freeze before we got back to the hotel - the wind was brutal and it felt like the ice might just go right through you. We met a couple in the lobby later that day who said they had rented a small car and were driving outside of the city when the ice storm came and they said they thought they were going to die. Funny thing was it never lasted longer than 20 or 30 minutes and then the sun was shining again. So after that first time, we just learned that when we saw the cloud approaching, we should go do something inside for awhile and wait for the bad weather to pass (which was usually just heavy rain). When we did the Golden Circle, there were varying levels of snow at the various stops, but still not very cold. The most snow was at Gulfoss Waterfall and it was actually snowing big, fluffy flakes there. It was beautiful. I don't tolerate cold well at all and I was comfortable just wearing my regular jacket that I wear during the not very cold Nashville winters and sometimes a knit cap.
