A severe weather warning has been issued for heavy snow showers in parts of Finnmark, Norway, as winter conditions set in across the north.

Meteorologists predict that snow will begin to accumulate on roads above 100 meters, with up to 10 centimeters expected in just 12 hours.

The cold air combined with potential rain showers could lead to icy conditions overnight, making roads particularly hazardous.

Drivers are urged to equip their vehicles with appropriate tires and stay updated on weather and road conditions.

Recent incidents, including a bus accident in Vestvågøy and a car sliding off the road in Leirfjord, highlight the dangers of the slippery roads.

Authorities emphasize the importance of driving cautiously and being prepared for sudden changes in weather conditions.
