He says he went out for a drive and was “okay on the road,” but when he came back just five minutes later, meteorologists made the worst assumptions.

Meteorologist Walloy says there are major problems with slippery roads around Norway.
– If it is plus degrees above us, but below it is minus degrees below ground, precipitation can come as rain even if it is minus degrees. Then it will be very smooth, says Walloy.
– Now it’s the biggest challenge in southern Norway and inland, where the temperature is just below zero. Wally says there are very few degrees on the coast so that shouldn’t be a problem.
He says that, on the other hand, there may be a problem with slippery roads in the interior of western Norway, and he claims that today Big problems on the E6 in Halden It was caused by freezing rain. e 6 Reopened around It’s 8:30 p.m., after being closed since this morning.

The temperature gradually rises to just above zero near the coast, while remaining below zero in the rest of the region.
VGTV: Every year it gets soapy on this hill in Bergen. Charlotte Brunvold set up a camera one day in January when there were really tough driving conditions. Now the video is taking off on TikTok.
– I felt my heart pumping
On Monday, a lorry with a trailer had major problems in Bumble in Vestfold and Telemark.
– I was on my way up the hill when he stopped. When I was about to back up a bit, the trailer started to sail and I ended up in the ditch. The truck driver said I felt my heart pumping Telemark newspaper.
Ole-Petter Ruud, traffic operator in Vegtrafikksentralen further south, told VG that today there is a need for plowing and spreading throughout Agder, Vestfold and Telemark.
– There will be some delays, because people drive slower, which is very good. There will be some traffic problems, because people will get stuck — especially lorry trains that may not hit properly or that go in places that are too steep, Rudd says.
Drivers are advised to be patient and adjust their speed.
– If it’s dry in one place, it’s suddenly slippery in another, so be careful, says Rudd.
In Vestfold and Telemark, where the aforementioned truck had problems, Walløe stated that it was particularly problematic in the Sandefjord area.
– There are subzero temperatures and rain at the same time, so it will be very slippery. This may also have been the case in Bumble, says Walloy.
