The weather has been cold (minus degrees) in Iceland so it has been important to dress warmly, use hiking boots and take hats, gloves and scarves. I myself am always wearing my darkblue woolen underwear and fleece sweater plus my winter jacket.
If you don't dress according to the weather the cold somehow goes into your bones and stays there.
The circumstances on the mountains close to Reykjavik have been good. There has been some ice and snow on Mount Esja (only close to the top) for the last days even though that changes from day to day. On Mount Helgafell the situation has been good, less snow and almost no ice.
The sky has been clear and the view magnificent.
The only "problem" - if there is a problem - is the wind cooling down. But then it is so nice to have some hot herbal tea (Icelandic thyme) at the top or down by the car. It helps against the cold.
