Locally, there may be a good deal of snow, says state meteorologist Stine Sagen. The collective company Skyss is preparing for a new, challenging day tomorrow. – We advise everyone to allow plenty of time, and to follow both road announcements and the information on our websites or in the travel app. Tomorrow is probably also a day when those who have the opportunity to use a home office should consider this, says press contact Øyvind Strømmen at Skyss to news.

Then all their plow trucks were in full swing. On Thursday, they have the same staffing. Framholt advises those who are going to travel to follow the information from the airlines. – And considering the slippery roads and challenges with the Bybanen, it might be a good idea to allow a little extra time if you’re flying out tomorrow.

From Thursday evening, northwesterly gales and snow squalls are also expected in coastal areas.
