This can lead to closed roads and bridges as well as stormwater in densely built-up areas. The Norwegian Meteorological Institute has issued a yellow danger warning for snow for the inner regions of Eastern Norway. In some places, up to 40 centimeters of snow can fall. A danger warning has also been sent out for ice in the south of Innlandet and in the east of Viken. – Even if the temperature is at zero degrees, or just below zero, rain can still occur that freezes on the ground, says meteorologist Terje Alsvik Walløe. He believes that traffic will be most exposed in the areas that experience such weather conditions. – Then it can become very slippery, as parts of Østfold have now. There have also been patches of freezing rain near the coast of Vestfold, says Walløe. SLIPPERY ROADS: A school bus with children has partially driven off the road in Trømborg in Østfold.
