Two people died in traffic accidents and emergency services warned road users not to venture out into the storm.<br \/>\nOn Monday afternoon, the Swedish Transport Administration had issued several warnings for difficult road conditions and slippery conditions on the major roads, especially in Svealand and Norrland.<\/p>\n<p>Heavy snow continued to fall over central and northern Sweden over the weekend and on Monday SMHI warned of a snowstorm that was heading into western Sweden.<br \/>\nSMHI is now expanding snow warnings in Western Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>The Class 1 warning for snowfall applied to V\u00e4stra G\u00f6taland County and Halland County and has now been expanded with two new warnings regarding inland Dalsland and V\u00e4rmland.<br \/>\n\u2013 New forecasts show that it will be a little worse than expected in these areas, says Henrik Reimer at SMHI to TT.<\/p>\n<p>During the afternoon and evening, the snowfall will intensify and up to 10-15 centimeters may fall in the areas where warnings have been issued, writes TT.<br \/>\nAlready on Monday afternoon, a number of accidents were noticed in V\u00e4stra G\u00f6taland.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 V has had a few accidents where you slide off the road or hit a guardrail, but fortunately none have resulted in serious personal injuries. We will have to wait and see if it gets worse, says Ulla Brehm, press spokesperson for the police in the West region.<\/p>\n<p>Trains and flights cancelled<br \/>\nBut even where there is no snow, the effects of the storm are still visible. Both train and air traffic have been affected by several delays and cancellations.<br \/>\nAccording to Swedavia, 260 flights out of 606 to and from Arlanda were canceled on Sunday and delays in air traffic continued into Monday afternoon, writes TT.<br \/>\n&quot;We are following developments and preparing with staffing and resources as much as we can. The problem is that it is not possible to start snow removal before the snow arrives,&quot; says Ulrika Fager at Swedavia&#039;s press office to TT.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dSimply a mess\u201d<br \/>\nThe snow has also caused problems in local transport. In particular, commuter trains both north and south of Stockholm have caused problems due to frozen points.<br \/>\nSeveral bus routes have also been affected by severe delays and several canceled departures on Monday.<br \/>\n\u2013 It is simply a matter of time, and then we cannot run buses at all in some places. We advise our passengers to keep an eye on our website and in the app, says Claes Keisu, information manager at SL.<br \/>\n\u2013 If you can avoid traveling during rush hour, that is of course the best.<\/p>\n<p>Source.aftonbladet.se-TT<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sn\u00f6ov\u00e4dret har lamslagit t\u00e5g- och flygtrafiken V\u00e4garna i norra och mellersta Sverige har p\u00e5 grund av helgens sn\u00f6fall varit olycksdrabbade under m\u00e5ndagen.
