The blowing winter weather and snowfall have caused many problems for traffic all over the country and record numbers of calls to SOS Danish Road Assistance in Southern Jutland.

- It has been a wild day. People are stuck almost everywhere. Our own cars have been stuck as well, says Lene Forsingdal, who is Station Leader at SOS Danish Road Assistance in Southern Jutland.

But it's not just in southern Jutland that drivers have had to be towed in the past day.

At Falck Assistance, area leader Morten Manow says they have been busy in both North Jutland and the entire southern Denmark from Jutland to Bornholm.

- It has been absolutely extraordinary. Friday promised unbelievable numbers of towing jobs, he says.

Therefore, there may be increased wait times for help from Falck up to a couple of hours.

More jobs are expected in the coming days

Falck expects a lot of towing jobs in the coming days.

- When the wind calms down later today and the temperature drops to single-digit minus degrees, we expect many jobs with starting help, says area leader Morten Manow.

Therefore, Morten Marnow urges to keep an eye on announcements from the police and the Road Directorate, if one has to travel on the roads.

- Keep warm clothing, and bring along a snow shovel if necessary, he says.

The Road Directorate writes on its website that smooth roads are still the greatest challenge, and the coming days' minus degrees are expected to increase the risk of smooth roads.

- Snowfall can cause oversnowed lanes and reduced visibility, it says.

On Bornholm, the police continue to advise against unnecessary travel, because there is strong wind and snowfall, and many small and medium-sized roads are difficult to navigate.

If one has to travel on Bornholm, the police's advice is to do so early in the day.

The snowplowing on the main roads stops at 6 pm, so drivers should be careful when traveling in the evening.

According to DR Weather, it will take almost a day for the wind to calm down on Bornholm, and there will no longer be snowfall.
