“We have canceled school buses all over Bohuslän,” says Ellen Pileblad, press release at Västtrafik.
Intense low pressure hits Sweden on Monday. SMHI has issued ten warnings. Eight from class 1 and two from class 2.
During the morning, Västra Götaland encountered slipping and snowfall. 16 buses in regular service are parked.
