Facsimile: Varsom.no &#8211; Drive carefully Several traffic challenges have been reported in northern Norway, where a number of ferry connections have been cancelled. &#8211; Water has collected in some places, so it&#8217;s a good idea to drive carefully, says Synn\u00f8ve Lukkassen, traffic operator in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, to news, and warns of the risk of aquaplaning. She further states that there is quite a bit of wind along the coast of Northern Norway, which may result in several ferry connections being canceled at short notice.

The precipitation can come as snow in the mountains, while it will be plus degrees in the lowlands, she tells news. &#8211; What does Saturday look like? &#8211; It is calming down a bit, but we are expecting strong westerly gales in exposed areas. In the afternoon it reduces to a slight gale, she says, before continuing: &#8211; We are expecting some rain or sleet showers, and the precipitation will come as snow showers at high altitudes.
