3

Very heavy snow, orange level (MET)

Published: Valid: from 06.12.2021 19:00 to 10.12.2021 12:00

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

Vulnerable installations and objects should be protected. 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. Follow advice and check status from transport operators. Check road reports (175.no). The need for emergency preparedness shall be assessed continuously by emergency response actors.

Description

Tuesday until Friday evening expect 40-80 cm snow. Expect gradually increasing temperatures and later sleet or rain at the coast, first in southern areas. Less precipitation in the northeastern part of Telemark.
