Closely follows the Swedish Road Administration closely monitors developments throughout the day and updates on 175.no They have a close collaboration with varsom.no and news Trafikkradioen If you experience something in traffic that others should know about, you can call the Swedish Road Administration on 175 or news Trafikk on 80099999 Varsom.no warns of significant avalanche danger in large parts of the country. Among other things, there is danger level three, yellow level in parts of Troms, Nordland and Western Norway today and tomorrow. – This means that there are unstable conditions, and that you have to be very careful in avalanche terrain, says leader of the avalanche warning, Emma Julseth Barfod. In the area around Svartisen, danger level four, red level, has been announced for the night to Wednesday. – Danger level 4 is a high avalanche danger, and then we expect that there will be a number of naturally triggered large avalanches, says Barfod. In Western Norway, landslides have caused county road 55 between Høyanger and Balestrand to be temporarily closed. The warning acts as a warning, which means that it is not always the case that the weather will strike as reported. – It really depends on how much snow actually comes, and how much wind also blows, says the duty manager. She points out that the combination of a lot of snow and strong wind leads to an increased risk of avalanches. – Pay attention – Danger level four, it is quite clear that then we expect large naturally triggered landslides, and that there are very unstable conditions. In danger level three, there is usually less chance of naturally triggered landslides, but then there is talk of an external force affecting the landslide. Like, for example, a skier. But there can also be a high level of danger three, in which case there is a small exclamation mark next to the warning. – Where it says danger level three with an exclamation mark, it is a high danger level three, where we expect a naturally triggered landslide to occur, says Barfod. This warning stands, among other things, next to the warning for Tromsø, Lofoten and Vesterålen, Romsdal and Salten. – Avoid avalanche terrain Now during the Christmas holidays, many have taken the trip to the mountains and Barfod in varsom.no encourages people to keep up to date. Varsom has a clear call for mountain walkers. – People must be aware that there are unstable conditions in the mountains, and that it is wise to avoid avalanche terrain when there is a high risk of avalanches. Where there is a risk of naturally triggered landslides, there may also be a risk of landslides over roads. – It is good advice to read the notice to see what the avalanche problem is, and which areas are most at risk. But you can go on ski trips even if there is a risk of avalanches. – It is always possible to be on a trip as long as you avoid avalanche terrain. Avalanche terrain is terrain that is 30 degrees and steeper. But it is also important to take care of runoff areas for landslides, i.e. keep a good distance from steep sides.
