Vegtrafikksentralen warns against weather changes and slippery roads in large parts of the country on Sunday. Motorists are asked to be aware that there may be rain that freezes on the ground and icicles that break and lie on the road. Yr writes that the change of weather is particularly valid in southern Norway and that a danger warning for ice has been sent out in the country. The rain can come before the cold leaves the roof and this leads to ice on vegan and other surfaces. The ice warning applies to parts of Møre and Romsdal, the interior of Western Norway and south of Stad and also other parts of southern Norway. Later, parts of Trøndelag will also be affected by the ice warning. In addition, strong gusts of wind are expected in Trøndelag and Nordmøre and snow drifts in the mountain area of Nordland. The meteorologists warn against ice and slippery roads in large parts of southern Norway. Slippery roads are also reported in Trøndelag throughout Sunday.

If you haven’t changed to winter tires yet, now is the time to do so, says adviser Jan Harry Svendsen. NAF points out that freezing rain can cause so-called “black ice”, a thin layer of ice on the road. – The danger with this is that it can look as if the road is only wet, while in reality it is ice. It goes without saying that this is dangerous for motorists and other road users. He asks motorists to calculate extra time. – If you are going over a mountain pass, you should bring some extra food and drink, warm clothes and a shovel as a minimum. If you drive an electric car, you should also ensure that you have as much current on the battery as possible. At riksveg 13 Vikafjellet there is convoy driving on Sunday.

In addition, it seems that many people have realized that it is slippery, and drive according to the conditions. Previously, there have been few incidents, says traffic operator Jørgen Bødtker. – There is reason to believe that it is most slippery on county roads and other stretches where no salt has been applied, he says.
