A powerful snowstorm is set to sweep across Sweden early next week, bringing heavy snowfall and strong winds.

SMHI has issued orange and yellow warnings for large parts of the country, with up to 30 centimeters of snow expected in some areas.

The storm is likely to cause significant disruptions, including traffic chaos, delays in public transport, and potential power outages.

Authorities are urging people to avoid unnecessary travel and to stay updated on weather forecasts.

The worst conditions are expected on Tuesday, coinciding with many Swedes returning to work after the holidays.

Experts recommend working from home if possible and adjusting travel plans to ensure safety.
