– We have lots of closed roads and canceled ferries everywhere. There are still a lot of storms. This applies to Finnmark, Troms and Nordland, says traffic operator Brita Bjerkli to NTB. The traffic control center has received a number of calls during the night as a result of the storm. – If you do not need to go out, you should stay calm until the roads are clear. If they get ready today, says Bjerkli. There will be a new update on the weather around 07:00 on Tuesday, she says. Bjerkeli also encourages all travelers by car to follow the latest traffic reports. Several planes are on the ground Widerøe aims to start air traffic where the weather permits on Tuesday, according to the airline’s press contact Lina Lindegaard Carlsen. She spoke to news at 9.30pm on Monday evening. On Monday, all the company’s flights north of Trondheim were canceled as a result of the storm. It probably won’t be like this on Tuesday, but Widerøe makes ongoing assessments throughout the day, Carlsen says. – We know that a new storm front will arrive on Tuesday, but it seems to be a little milder than today. Carlsen adds: – Nevertheless, it could also give us problems in some places. Air traffic is closed in Tromsø.

Gusts of wind and power outages On Monday, the Meteorological Institute measured strong gusts of wind in several places in northern Norway. The wind caused several damages around the country. In Tana, a school bus was blown off the road. In Salangen, the wind took a boat with it. The storm has also led to power outages in a number of places. In Troms, over 1,500 customers were affected.
