Motorists were again warned of slippery conditions on the Faroese roads on Wednesday.
Average temperatures lie at around 4-5 degrees Celsius this afternoon, but this morning at around 5-6 a.m. it was even colder, and this caused icy road conditions throughout the country.
This is the 71st time this winter season (a Faroese winter season is admittedly painfully long) that Landsverk, the Faroese Road Authority, has issued a warning to drivers over slippery roads, writes Faroese news website Portal.fo.
The first slippery roads warning this season was issued on October 26, 2018.
It is quite normal that Faroese roads can be slippery due to cold weather in late April, and even in…late May (!!).
