Air traffic is also being delayed, both at Oslo Airport Gardermoen, and at Moss Airport which was closed altogether for a while, due to the snow.
The snowfall over the South and East is is expected to end by the afternoon, according to the Met Office.
The weather is expected to turn quite a bit colder after the weekend, following temperatures around freezing in the Oslo area the last couple of days.
