If you're going out on the roads in large parts of Svealand, you should expect longer travel times. A yellow warning for sudden ice has been issued, which also applies to the northeasternmost parts of Götaland and the southernmost coastal areas of Norrland.

It's raining on cold roads, says duty meteorologist Kjell Lund.

The ice has been a common occurrence during the past winter.

It's what stands out, and that it's so far north. But it has to do with the weather situation.

Värmlandstrafik has chosen to cancel certain public transport and school buses, while the company warns of delays in other traffic. Public transport in other parts of the country is also experiencing delays.

From northern Dalarna up to southern Norrland and parts of northern Norrland, you should be on the lookout for heavy snowfall, as the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute has issued a yellow warning. It is expected to vary locally.

It's a heavy snowfall that can give up to two decimeters.

If you're going out on the roads, Kjell Lund urges you to be cautious. But it also applies if you're going out on foot.

I think crampons are also a good idea.

From this afternoon, an orange warning has been issued for heavy snowfall in combination with strong winds in the southern and northern Lapland mountains. It also applies to the Härjedalen mountains and the southern Jämtland mountains, which have therefore been given yellow warnings.
