Consequence
Travel time may increase on some journeys. Local driving conditions may become difficult. Blowing snow at higher altitudes causes reduced visibility and possibly convoys and/or closed roads.
Advice
Allow some extra time for transportation and driving. Use tires fit for winter conditions and use caution while driving. The need for emergency preparedness shall be assessed continuously by emergency response actors.
Description
From Wednesday afternoon, colder air masses are expected which will bring snow down to 100-300 m above sea level. In Troms and the northern parts of Nordland, snow is expected as low as at sea level. 5-15 cm of snow is expected on the roads locally - possibly more in the mountains. The danger is expected to subside early Thursday morning.
