– There are probably some who are going to work tomorrow, which means that some choose to go home today. Hans Are Dahl, traffic operator in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, says that in the morning hours on Tuesday it looks fairly calm. But that traffic edges must be particularly careful in the afternoon and evening, as the weather may appear to change. – We will probably see people start to move home from 1pm on the main roads. It can be smart to check the weather forecast for the area you will be driving in. The meteorologists have reported that there may be some snow and wind during the afternoon and evening. Especially in the mountain areas. – Allow plenty of time and take it easy. There is no reason to rush home, he says. – Regardless of when you think of driving home during this week, it is important to plan the trip, says Dahl. Photo: Screenshot/Meteorologen E39 closed for a long time to come Traffic in the morning seems to be going well for the time being. But the E39 in Viggjatunnelen in Orkland in Trøndelag is closed, and will probably be for a long time. The reason is a traffic accident. The detour is signposted, according to Vegtrafikksentralen. – Calculate plenty of time, and keep an eye on yr.no and news radio, is the advice from traffic operator Erlend Nilsen at the Road Traffic Center in Midt-Norway. He says the driving conditions are fine now, but that they can change at short notice. An avalanche has led to county road 55 between Kongsneset and Nessane being closed in one lane in the morning hours on Boxing Day. The Swedish Road Traffic Center was notified of the avalanche, but it is somewhat unclear where the avalanche has gone. There is no danger of anyone being caught in the landslide, and contractors are on their way to the site. Vegtrafikksentralen west notified of the incident just before 9 o’clock on Tuesday. Yellow danger warning A lot of snow is expected locally for the next 24 hours. This has caused the meteorologists to issue a yellow warning for Nordfjord, Møre and Romsdal and southern Trøndelag. In the inland areas, 10 to 30 cm is expected in 24 hours. More snow is expected in the mountains. In outer regions, 5 to 20 cm of snow can locally fall in 24 hours. On Wednesday evening, a strong low pressure will approach Norway. This will cause strong winds and locally a lot of precipitation, especially in southern Norway. – So, if you have the opportunity, it might be a good idea not to plan your journey on Wednesday evening and the first part of Thursday, report the meteorologists at X.
