The danger warning for a lot of snow continues throughout the day and into the evening. In Western Norway, there is a yellow and orange danger warning, and up to 40 cm may fall. Yesterday there were major challenges in traffic, but an even bigger problem is expected today. – Leave the car standing, urges Chris Eide, traffic operator at Vegtrafikksentralen West. They have received several reports about vehicles that have had trouble on the road, including traffic accidents north of Radøy and a bus in the ditch at Sotra. Several new danger warnings to come The Swedish Road Traffic Center states that there are fewer cars outside than usual. – It looks like people have been encouraged to leave the car, and we want them to continue with that, says traffic operator Eide. Visibility is poor on several mountain passes. Here from fv. 50 Aurland-Hol Thursday morning. Photo: STATENS VEGVESEN A lot of wind is forecast, which leads to the risk of snow drifts. He asks people to drop the cabin tour this weekend. – Mild weather has been reported for the weekend, and this could lead to very challenging driving conditions, says the traffic operator. When large amounts of snow melt, there can be a lot of water and glaciers, warns state meteorologist Kristian Gislefoss. Among other things, a yellow danger warning has been issued for large parts of Agder and Austlandet. There may also be a delay warning. The Norwegian Meteorological Institute is considering sending out a yellow warning about ice and ice for the whole of Western Norway, Bergens Tidende reports. When there are large amounts of snow and this is pulled down, it becomes hard snow. In addition, some rain is expected which will freeze on the ground. – There will be snow in the outer and inner regions, says meteorologist Geir Ottar Fagerlid to news. There is also expected to be a great risk of avalanches. A red danger warning may be sent out, the avalanche warning informs news. Convoy driving and closed roads Vegtrafikksentralen informs on Friday morning that things are relatively good for vegans. – The plow crew has worked all night and made a heroic effort. Many roads are therefore very good, but there are naturally some side roads and main roads where there is still some snow, says traffic operator Jørgen Bødtker. In Rogaland too, the conditions are generally good, but here too the side roads can be a challenge. – We have received a number of calls about slippery roads from the outer areas in the south of Rogaland, says traffic operator Marianne Hove in the Norwegian Road Administration. She reminds that there is still an ongoing snow warning. – More snow has also been reported throughout the day. If you are going to drive a car, you must be well shod and slow down according to the conditions where you are, says Hove. Driving conditions can be difficult on these vegans. Here’s what’s going on for vegans: Hardangervidda national highway 7 is closed due to the storm. On national highway 13 Vikafjellet there is a convoy due to bad weather. Visibility is reduced on county road 50 Aurland-Hol. Here, too, there may be queue driving at short notice On the E 134 Haukelifjell there is queue driving. Fylkesveg 5641 Kalvskinnet in Luster was closed due to a minor snow fall. The road opens at 08.00. County road 450 Hunnesdalsvegen between Øvstabø on the Rogaland side and Beinesvatnet down towards Sinnes is closed due to the risk of snow avalanches at Hunnevatn. County road 450 Hunnedalsvegen over Gjesdal in Rogaland and Sirdal in Agder is closed due to avalanches. Here you can see updated messages from the Norwegian Road Administration. Expect big challenges for vegan Press contact Øyvind Strømmen in Skyss tells Bergens Tidende that they expect big challenges today. He asks people to consider whether they need to travel today. Acting regional manager in Tide, Frank Aadland, he supports: – It is a state of emergency and the driving conditions have gone from worse to worse, but we have some fantastic bus drivers who are trying to maintain the best possible route offer, says Aadland to the newspaper. Although the snow creates some challenges, it is also a lot of fun. Photo: Lena Borge Skyss reports that travelers must expect major delays due to the driving conditions. Here you can check the situation at Skyss. There are also delays and canceled departures in public transport in the capital. Most of the bus traffic runs as normal, says Ruter. Helicopter traffic is also affected by the storm today. From Stavanger Airport Sola, several departures to the Ekofisk field have been cancelled. In addition, traffic to the North Sea is also delayed, according to an overview at Heliport. Twelve other helicopter departures have been postponed. Several flights to and from Stavanger Airport have also been postponed. There is also a problem on the Sørlandsbanen and several departures between Oslo and Stavanger have been cancelled, reports the train company Go Ahead. Leave the car standing, advises the Swedish Road Traffic Centre. Photo: Therese Grimstad Pisani / news The secondary schools in Hordaland have home education today. The main reason is because the county council wants to relieve the burden on the road system and public transport. Vegtrafikksentralen: Don’t stop in the tunnels Vegtrafikksentralen encourages people to clean their cars properly before they drive. Last night and last night many people stopped in tunnels to enjoy the snow. – We are not so excited about that. These emergency pockets are for people in need, and not a place you use to stop and brush the snow off the car. It’s what you do at home before you drive, says Jørgen Bødtker in the Road Traffic Centre.
