suddenly


A surprise hit of bad weather was paralyzing the Hordaland area, in the south-western part of Norway yesterday afternoon.

A bad spat of weather came to the Bergen region today- but transport workers were saying the crisis was over.

Police were advising people to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary.

First came snow, and after that came rain, making the roads especially slippery.

However, the bus and taxi drivers say the worst is over now.

No major accidents have been reported so far.
