In some parts of Norway it is still autumn vacation, and many have added vacations in the mountains.

A strong depression has formed near Iceland and intensified on the way to eastern Norway with thunderstorms in southern Norway late Wednesday.

Most snowfall is expected along the highlands in the highlands west, west of Jட்டுtgenheim and in the Strainefzellet, where there will be 5-15 cm of snow, with 20 cm in the most exposed areas.
