– We enjoy Netflix on the big screen

Nicolai and Tim do their best to pass the time while they wait for the convoy to cross the Hardangervidda.

On Thursday evening, there will be approximately a six-hour waiting time from both sides on national highway 7 above Hardangervidda, reports the Swedish Traffic Agency.

Two of those queuing to get east are Nicolai Iversen and Tim Sørensen.

– We have been standing here for three hours now, and are number 15 in the queue, they say on the phone at 6.30pm.

Earlier on Thursday, there was a controlled convoy with 50 cars in a row. Then it went down to 25.

– Now they only bring 12 cars at a time, say Nicolai and Tim.

– Couldn’t have been better

But the boys apparently take it very well. They are on their way to an Easter stay at Geilo.

– We are perfectly fine, here we are sitting in a brand new car with Netflix on the big screen. We have also created an Easter quiz. We couldn’t have been better off, they say.

They considered a long detour to avoid Hardangervidda, because it was reported that there could be rough conditions with snow jibs and columns.

– But when we left, the weather was fantastic in Bergen. So we let ourselves be fooled a bit, say the two fellows.

– It rains quite a bit

When BT spoke to plow driver Kjell Gunnar Myhren at 18.10, he had just driven from the west to the east side.

– It has started to blow quite a bit, and it is raining quite a bit. Visibility is poor, so it will be normal convoy driving, says Myhren.

– Suddenly completely white

Tina Kvammen Mjøs Sinclair stood in the queue from 3 p.m., heading east.

Almost four hours later, at 6.50 p.m., she finally got to join the convoy.

– Right now the conditions are fine, but suddenly it turns completely white, she tells BT just after 7 p.m.

She will pick up her husband and daughter at Haugastøl, and then the other daughter at Ustaoset.

So the family’s plan is to spend the rest of Easter at a cabin on Hardangervidda.

– Fortunately, good weather is forecast for Friday, says Sinclair.
