the Mayor of the borough of Flakstad, Hans Fredrik Sørdal (Ap), reports of something that resembles chaos in the West-Lofoten.
– All the roads are closed. All the schools are closed. After that, we know it has been a landslide on the four state highways, plus E10. It is quite hefty, ” says Sørdal to the Newspaper.
His call to the people is to pile so that one’s out the door, so that it is safe out if it should begin to burn.
– If not, stay inside. So the situation is now, is rasfarenivået on fire in all places where the slope is over 20 percent. There is a big risk for snow removal crews to keep on now, ” says Sørdal.
Operasjonsleder Lillestø says that the police encourage people to monitor whether roads are opened, and not venture out before that. She says that the Lofoten hovedfartsåre, E10, is our number one priority.
– It is very unusual that we get so much snow in so short a time. I can’t remember that we have had these conditions before ever. The last time we were confronted with similar must have been in the 1960s, ” says the chief councilor Kjell Idar Berg in the Norwegian fishing village municipality to the Newspaper.
Few issues
Police in Oslo reported a bus in College who ended up in the ditch on Monday morning. It should have gone smoothly, there should not be any personal injuries. It was smooth on the road, informs the Line Bulkheads at the Oslo police district.
We had perhaps expected more problems. Currently it has gone better than expected, says the Bulkhead to the Newspaper on 08-time.

In the course of the night into the morning hours on Monday, we have received messages about the cars of the road, and cars in the armco. In total, we had six traffic accidents until now, that is due to the smooth snøføret.
