Winter is back in the South and East


The winter is back in full force in Southern and Eastern Norway, where people woke up to a heavy snowfall and strong wind Friday morning. In the Agder counties, up to 9000 households were without electricity, and trains were cancelled in the same area.

The railway lines were re-opened by Friday evening, but many were still without electricity Saturday morning.

The snowfall was not as heavy in the Oslo region, but more than enough to ensure perfect skiing conditions in the worn down trails in the surrounding forests.

Saturday morning was again bright and sunny in the South and East, with temperatures a bit lower than earlier in the week, - a perfect day for skiing. Easter Sunday is again expected to become a bit cloudy, with some snow towards evening.

The same is also forecast for the rest of the country.
