It is not only the Christmas goods that have announced their arrival early this year. Now the snow creeps closer and closer. On Sunday, the snow line crept down the mountain sides, and in Western Norway south of Stad there will be snow showers above 700 m above sea level. In Møre and Romsdal, on the other hand, you can expect a snow limit of 500 m above sea level. on Sunday, and 300 m. the following day. It can fall 15-30 cm in a day and in the high mountains even a little more. – This may come as a bit of a surprise, says Vakthavande meteorologist Susana Reuder at the Meteorological Institute.

The plow vehicle is ready The Norwegian Road Traffic Center West is prepared for the snow and is ready to take measures if necessary. – Bear in mind that there may be delays in traffic, says traffic operator in the road traffic center west, Albert Sherington. He also encourages road users to use the right tires for the conditions, and to make wise choices: – The driver or whoever sits behind the wheel must make these assessments. If you think there might be a problem, it is just as well to schedule the trip. Sherington is still not worried and says that they have their own people in the mountains who take care of plowing and the like if needed. Whether it will be a white Christmas, Reuder at the Meteorological Institute cannot answer yet: – It is perhaps too early to say, but one thing is certain: We are heading towards winter, absolutely for sure.
