Strong snow drift warnings are in effect across multiple areas of southern Norway, including Jotunheimen, Hardangervidda, Haukelifjell, Stavanger, and Odda. Meteorologists state that blowing snow is causing locally reduced visibility and tightly packed snow on roadways. These conditions may lead to sudden road closures, and convoy driving could be introduced on short notice to maintain safety for travelers. The warnings highlight the immediate hazards posed by drifting snow during this weather event.
