Orange warning in the Lapland mountains

today at 06.47 Nelly Kronstrand

SMHI has issued an orange weather warning for a combination of wind and snowfall in the Lapland mountains.

People are strongly advised against going out on the mountain as it can be difficult to orient oneself due to reduced visibility and there is a great risk of frostbite, SMHI writes on its website.

Yellow weather warnings have also been issued for sudden icy conditions in the middle part of Jämtland county as well as wind and snowfall in western Härjedalsfjällen, Jämtlandsfjällen and Laplandfjällen. A yellow warning has also been issued for gales at the Gulf of Bothnia.

  • Candy giant fined after accident – two fell into chocolate

    The American candy company Mars Wrigley, which produces, among other things, M&Ms and Twix, is fined after two workers fell into a vat of chocolate, TT reports.

    The workplace accident occurred last summer in the state of Pennsylvania in the United States. The workers were hired through an external company to carry out maintenance.

Both were taken to hospital, one of them by helicopter.

    Mars Wrigley is now required to pay roughly $15,500, which corresponds to approximately SEK 150,000, by the US occupational health and safety authority OSHA.

    The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl, the final of American football, against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

  • Extra police control in traffic before the sports holiday

    During the week, commercial traffic throughout the country must be checked extra carefully, the police write on their website. The reason is the upcoming sports holiday.

    “It is worrying that many professional drivers choose not to follow the posted speed, because professional traffic has such a big impact on speed in general,” says national police chief Anders Thornberg on the website.

    In addition to the speed, the police will also check the vehicles, including whether they are in approved condition. (TT)

  • Declare a state of emergency during the cyclone

    A state of emergency prevails in five regions in the northern part of New Zealand’s North Island, including the country’s largest city, Auckland, as Cyclone Gabrielle moves in from the north. About 30 weather warnings are issued, the New Zealand Herald reports.

    Around 58,000 households are already without electricity, and it is expected to take up to a week before the power works again in some areas.

    In Auckland, all schools are closed and residents are advised to stay indoors. Both trains and flights to and from the city have been cancelled.

    At the end of January, four people died after torrential rain and floods in Auckland. The city then received more rain than had ever been recorded before. (TT)

  • Dogs are abandoned – too expensive

    More people than before are giving their dog away – among other things because it will be too expensive.

    Last year the Kennel took in 577 dogs, compared to 368 in 2021, reports SVT News Stockholm.

    To some extent, this is due to the fact that many people who got a dog during the pandemic do not have the same opportunity to take care of the dog now.

    – Because dogs are becoming more accepted in society, people sometimes take it a bit lightly when it comes to getting a dog, says Per Leander, head of operations at Hundstallet, to SVT.

    But they are also seeing some increase in cases where dogs are abandoned because the owner can’t afford it. This often involves a larger veterinary cost.
