A powerful snowstorm has caused significant disruptions across southern and eastern Norway.

Heavy snowfall and strong winds have led to hazardous road conditions, resulting in multiple minor traffic accidents, including a bus and car collision in Arendal.

Fortunately, no serious injuries have been reported.

The storm has also disrupted train and flight schedules, with several cancellations and delays.

Over 1,200 households experienced power outages due to snow-laden trees falling on power lines, though efforts are underway to restore electricity.
