A new wave of snow is expected in the mountains from Friday afternoon due to strong winds and snow. A yellow hazard warning has been posted in the mountains of southern Norway.
– The best time to get over the mountain in southern Norway before New Years seems to be early Friday. Drive carefully and bring enough food, drink and warm clothes in your car, wrote meteorologists on Twitter.

Several mountain passes are open on Thursday mornings, but the road traffic center asks motorists to keep up to date with the weather and road conditions.
Half tested positive
Several traffic accidents and slippery conditions were reported on Norwegian roads in the morning hours on Thursday.
Along the E6, as many as three trailers broke off and blocked the road.
At a quarter past five on Thursday morning, a lorry descended 20 meters with a guardrail and sheared off at the Patterød exit in Moss on the E6.
– There are also reports of very slippery road surfaces, wrote the police on Twitter.
Mikael Olsen at Vegtrafikksentralen öst informs shortly after 7 on Thursday morning that the road is still blocked.
– I dare not say how long the clearing will take, but it could appear that a tow truck has arrived on the scene, Olsen tells Dagbladet.
Just before 11 the road was cleared and opened to traffic.
Three trucks cut off
Olsen says that in Østfold there is a lot of slush on the roads, while closer to Oslo there has been a lot of snow.
Further north on the E6 in Skjetten, another semi-trailer was cut off.
– Traffic flows slowly at the scene of the accident, writes the police on Twitter.
The Swedish road administration states on its website that two lanes are closed in the direction of Oslo.
Also on the E6 in Trøndelag, more precisely between Berkåk and Oppdal, the road is closed in one lane due to yet another convoy of trucks that has broken away.
– Danger of traffic jams, writes Vegtrafikksentralen in the middle of Twitter.
