The Transport Administration (Trafikverket) in Sweden has alerted drivers to hazardous conditions on the roads in southern Sweden, particularly warning that the roads resemble a "glass layer" due to icy conditions. This dangerous weather event is mainly due to freezing rain, which has created slippery patches that are hard to see, heightening the risk of accidents. The troubling road conditions are expected to impact a large stretch of the area starting around Jönköping and extending southward.

Motorists are being advised to exercise extreme caution when driving, as the continual sub-zero temperatures in the area mean that any precipitation results in treacherous road conditions. Nighttime reports have indicated a number of vehicles have skidded off the roads, although the Transport Administration has not yet reported any serious injuries as a result of these incidents. As the freezing rain falls, visibility of these icy conditions is extremely poor, making it difficult for drivers to anticipate the hazards ahead.

The police have noted an increase in traffic incidents within Jönköping County, with several drivers reporting loss of control over their vehicles on the slick roads. In light of these conditions, authorities are emphasizing the need for caution, urging drivers to reduce speed and remain aware of their surroundings to minimize the possibility of accidents as they navigate the complex and dangerous driving situation.
