Similar weather will come to Sørlandet – It is a combination of cold air over a relatively warm Baltic Sea that leads to the snowfall, says state meteorologist Rafael Escobar Løvdahl. He thinks the citizens of Stockholm must expect around 30 centimeters of snow during the day. The snow will last the rest of the day. – Similar conditions are expected in Southern Norway, but there will be greater local differences. It is expected that Southern Norway will have snowy weather today and tomorrow, and mild weather will also arrive.
