They have warned for several days
The head of operations and maintenance for Westfold and Telemark County Municipality, Trond Hagstad, says the space has seen Christmas weather a long time coming. They already warned little Christmas Eve that this would happen.
– It will be hot in the lowlands, we’ll have to see how it goes. Keeping it up for more than several days at a time takes a toll on the crew, he adds:
– Everyone goes out and does their best.
Westfold and Telemark have mixed conditions. Hagstad says heavy rains and road slicks are a major challenge for plow crews. But they work to keep the roads open, but it’s hard to be on the road yourself.
– There are many train falls in the lower part of the district and as you get a little higher. It’s a bit wintery there, he says, and many trees are bent down by heavy snow.
