Update: Snow chaos spreads south, new warnings issued amid storms' lingering effects

Five days after Storm Anna's peak, Sweden remains gripped by winter extremes: snow chaos advancing from Skåne to Svealand, icy conditions in the north, and ongoing power outages in Gävleborg from storms Johannes and Anna. Up to 30 cm more snow is forecast, with SMHI yellow warnings for the east coast ahead of Epiphany.

Following the intense impacts of storms Johannes and Anna detailed earlier, Sweden faces continued winter disruptions. A snowstorm moved through Skåne this morning, heading toward Svealand, while the north endures icy cold.

In Gävleborg, power outages persist for over a week, now compounded by fresh snowfall forecasts of up to 30 cm. SMHI has issued yellow warnings for heavy snow along nearly the entire east coast through Epiphany on January 6, highlighting risks of slippery roads and traffic issues.

Authorities and residents must adapt to these evolving conditions, emphasizing caution on roads and preparation for cold.
