Weather: – Now it’s snowing

A taste of traditional midwinter appears in Eastern Norway on Tuesday and Thursday with a few centimeters of fresh snow.

Consistent winter winters for most of the country this week are slippery roads and ice over most of the country.

Plus winds up to strong winds in several areas on our long coast, and troubled winds also on many mountain passes.

The snow comes all over Eastern Norway from Telemark and Vestfold in the southwest to Viken and Innlandet all the way to the Swedish border.

– How much snow is coming, state meteorologist Elin Tronvoll?

– Well, there will be local variations and not very much. We estimate between three and five centimeters on Tuesday, and up to 10 centimeters in higher areas on Thursday. Every now and then, Wednesday, there will be stays with nice weather, some sun and minus degrees all over the region.

From snow to rain

In the afternoon on Thursday, the state meteorologist on duty warns of an early transition to sleet and rain and associated slippery conditions.

For large parts of Western Norway, from north of Ålesund to south of Stavanger, a danger warning has been issued for ice well inland from Tuesday.

The snow weather is already underway on Monday.

The coasts of Sogn og Fjordane and Møre og Romsdal have been warned of high water levels.

Along parts of the coast in the north, ship traffic is warned of the danger of icing in addition to strong winds.
