Consequence
Reduced visibility. Local driving conditions may become difficult due to snow accumulating on the road. Expect convoys and/or closed roads on short notice.
Advice
Allow extra time for transportation and driving. Follow advice and check status from transport operators. Check road reports (175.no). Use tires fit for winter conditions and use caution while driving. Avoid unnecessary journeys to exposed places.
Description
Friday risk of blowing snow in Nordland and Troms. Strong wind in combination with locally heavy snowfall gives blowing snow. First part of the day also in the lowland, but rising temperature during the day means that the warning gradually only is valid in higher parts and exposed mountain roads.
