They cover Viken, Oslo and Innlandet. – But snow and rain have been reported for the whole day, so we have to prepare for difficult driving conditions, says Brunæs. It is important to be properly shod if you are going out on the roads. – If you still haven’t got winter tires on the car, just let them get them.
