Iceland 2022 Packing List

Rain forecast every day week, temp range 48-34F. The forecasted probability of 32%-65% and rate 0.01-0.04 in/hr doesn't seem that bad. It won't be raining the other percents of the time and the hourly rate over the whole day amounts to about 1/3 to 1/2" of rain. 

Justjanek lent me a slightly larger suitcase.
