Warning

Snow

Consequence

Vulnerable infrastructure can be affected by large accumulations of snow. Travel time may increase on many journeys. Driving conditions can be hazardous. The power supply may be impacted. Blowing snow at higher altitudes causes reduced visibility and possibly convoys and/or closed roads.

Advice

Consider whether the journey is necessary. Allow a lot of extra time for transportation and driving. Use tires fit for winter conditions and use caution while driving. Check road reports (175.no).

Description

From late Sunday morning and until Monday morning very large amounts of snow is expected, mainly near coastal areas. Locally 30 to 40 cm snow in 24 hours.
