The night before Friday and Friday morning are expected to bring snow and cold rain on icy roads, which can cause problems in traffic. There is a risk of large problems with slipping and the police are therefore advising drivers to be cautious. If possible, work from home.

Due to the expected slipping, SMHI has issued an orange warning that covers Jönköping County and Östergötland County. A yellow warning is in place for Sörmland County. Traffic conditions can become difficult and the police want to prevent traffic accidents.

If you must drive between midnight and 09.00 on Friday, think about keeping a distance from the vehicle in front of you, being out in good time, and driving cautiously. If there are accidents or stationary vehicles, even important public functions such as rescue services and police may have trouble getting through.

Notice that weather warnings can change with short notice. Therefore, keep yourself updated on the weather situation and traffic conditions in a warning situation.
