Following SMHI's widespread wind warnings, Trafikverket has canceled all train traffic between Bräcke and Storlien in Jämtland on Saturday due to storm-force winds and heavy snowfall. This disrupts fully booked SJ services to ski destinations like Åre and Duved.
Plowing of the popular Vildmarksvägen between Västerbotten and Jämtland has begun earlier than usual. This year, snow drifts measure between three and four meters high and are exceptionally hard. Bertil Fjällström, who is clearing the road, describes the snow as rock-hard.

Significant avalanche danger prevails in southern Jämtland mountains and western Härjedalen, according to Lavinprognoser.se. Dangerous conditions are caused by wind slabs that can trigger avalanches under load. The warnings are in effect until Tuesday at 18:00.
