During the night, the snow has fallen over the inner parts of Götaland, and in some places caused problems. To the west of Alvesta, several trucks were stationary and a fallen tree blocked the road between Lagan and Vittaryd for an hour.

Over Småland and Östergötland, a number of minor power outages were reported during the night, most for a short time. At 02, they received more than 5,700 households in Malmö municipality, which on Tuesday evening became electricity back without electricity.

The harsh winds caused the Öresund Bridge to be shut down for four hours on Tuesday evening. The bridge was reopened, but with the recommendation not to drive wind-sensitive vehicles over it.

"Temporary winter"

The rainfall and the strong winds have not eased during Wednesday morning, and will largely continue until Thursday.

- Right now we have a stretch of snow that runs along the Sörmland and Östgöta coast, down towards the Småland coast, and so it will look like on Wednesday. But during Thursday it will back towards the country again, over the inner part of Svealand and down over the eastern parts of Götaland, says SVT meteorologist Sara Rindegren.

The snow seems to remain in these areas until the weekend. In total, it could be up to 15 centimeters of snow.

- But the winter that is coming now is quite temporary, because at the beginning of next week it seems to be milder air, which will mean a couple of plus degrees in the days, Sara Rindegren.

Sunny in the north

By contrast, most parts of Norrland can expect a sunny winter day on Wednesday, with between 5 and 10 minus degrees.
