A passenger car has been loaded onto a truck. A truck is blocking the road and there are long queues and slow traffic on the E6 towards Trondheim. Ice and snow on the road create major traffic problems in Trøndelag in the morning hours.
– Fortunately, no person has been seriously injured. It is slippery and people have to drive very carefully, says police operations manager Bjørn Handegard.

Several run on summer tires
Today’s Highway Administration has beer and electricity production facilities outside, but asks people with summer tires to leave the car. This is stated by project manager Roar Dypvik, who is responsible for operations at the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.
– We cannot get the roads in such a condition that people can drive on summer tires. As a precaution, it was turned into salt at E6 last night. But when the wet snow reaches the pores and the footprints on the asphalt, it becomes slippery.
– Were you well prepared for such a snowfall in May?
– We will be brewing beer, salts and the like as fast now as in winter. But contractors may need some extra time for cars to pick up equipment. But there shouldn’t be big differences, Dypvik tells NRK.
TRIP: It was a busy day for mountain car drivers in Trøndelag, as many cars ended up off-road on the slippery road.

Complete stop at E6
And that it was smooth, Ivar Morten Skjelstad can confirm. Today he was stuck early for over an hour on the E6 line towards Trondheim.
– It is very smooth and luckily I still have winter tires in the car. But not all of them, Skjelstad tells NRK.
Describe the weather as an early winter day.
WARNING: Police warn people against driving on summer tires and post this photo on Facebook today to show how things can go.

Busy at the Road Traffic Center
Just before 11 o’clock, Eva Bergkvist tells the traffic control center that the long lines on the E6 north of Trondheim have been dissolved. But now they receive reports that there are difficult driving conditions on the E6 in Namsskogan and towards Oppdal.
– He’s been terribly busy here since morning. Many people have called us about the smooth ride. Today, contractors probably had to find the reins today. It wasn’t just littering, says Bergkvist, who was late for work due to difficult driving conditions and queues.
10 to 20 cm of snow
Snow and slippery roads are also expected further north in the country. According to the Meteorological Institute, snow will settle on the roads of the most intense cities, both in the lowlands and in the mountains of Nordland, Troms and Finnmark.
At most, you can get 10 to 20 centimeters of snow in one day. According to the notice, you must calculate the additional time for transportation and driving. In addition to using the correct tires and driving according to the conditions.
COMPLETE WINTER: A lot of snow has already arrived in Troms and it is expected that between 10 and 20 cm of new snow will come the next day.

The measuring stations have snowed
– Although it is not yet the great spring feeling in the north, many have switched to summer tires, meteorologist Pernille Borander told NRK.
At several of the measurement stations in northern Norway, NVE has had problems with refusing the stations so that they can no longer measure.
– Snow maps show that 1997 was the only snowiest year in Troms and Finnmark than now. So says hydrologist Heidi Bache Beach.
