– As you can see, there is a foggy ice that lies above us. It is moisture that turns to ice when it settles both on the road surface and on the cars, says operations manager for the East police district Terje Marstad. The police have also received reports that motorists are stopping on the E6 to scratch roads before they can drive on. – Put the defroster on full blast – It is dangerous to stop on the E6, but it is even more dangerous not to be able to see out of the lanes, so if you have to stop, you have to be extra careful, says Marstad and has tips for those who are out and running now. – Keep the defroster on full blast. If it gets too hot, take off your down jacket and hat, but leave the defroster on. It is dangerous and illegal to drive when you cannot see out of the lanes. Snow is expected throughout the evening, and the police therefore ask that you allow plenty of time and drive carefully if you are going out on the roads this evening. – We are in a high season for traffic accidents. Partly because of weather conditions, but also because people are short on time. Instead of stressing about the Christmas shopping and shopping before the weekend, instead take a breath and take it easy. Then you usually get home in one piece. Traffic challenges in several places in the country In northern Norway, the polar low pressure has led to major traffic problems. In Troms, there have been a number of traffic accidents and moose collisions in the last hour during the day. Air traffic has also been affected by the weather conditions. During the day, several airports in both the north and west have experienced delays and cancellations. But now Oslo Airport Gardermoen has also been affected. Several departures and arrivals have so far been delayed, according to Avinor’s website.
