Orange warning for snow in southern Norway – several mountain passes closed

Several of the most important roads between east and west have been closed, among them national road 7 Hardangervidda, E16 Filefjell and national road 15 Strynefjell, Vegtrafikksentralen vest writes on Twitter.

In addition, national road 13 Vikafjellet and county road 53 between Tyin and Årdal are closed, while there is column driving on E134 Haukeli and county road 50 between Hol and Aurland.

Check the weather where you are

The road traffic control center east warns motorists against strong winds and snow in the mountains.

– This can lead to poor visibility, and then it can be column driving or closed. Plan your trip and check out the weather and traffic announcements before departure, they write Twitter.

The Norwegian Meteorological Institute has issued an orange warning for snow. 25 to 50 centimeters of snow is expected in large parts of Oslo, Viken, Sørlandet and Vestfold and Telemark, writes NRK.

“Winter is making a comeback today and tomorrow, so I guarantee traffic chaos on the road tonight and tomorrow,” state meteorologist Charalampos Sarchosidis told the channel.
