In Läänemaa, a special maintenance regime has been implemented on state roads due to intense snowfall and blizzard conditions that have disrupted traffic. The Estonian Transport Agency announced that side roads may become impassable due to the heavy snow, with accumulations reaching nearly 20 centimeters, significantly surpassing the previously forecasted 10 centimeters. This situation has led to warnings for local residents to avoid unnecessary travel in the area.

The intense weather system is expected to gradually move eastward, with precipitation subsiding into the evening, allowing skies to clear. However, even as conditions improve, there will still be strong winds from the west and northwest, which can cause localized snowdrifts and poor visibility on the roads. The Transport Agency has advised truck drivers to stay parked as much as possible until driving conditions improve, emphasizing the danger posed by the current weather.

All maintenance equipment for road care in Läänemaa is actively engaged in clearing operations, prioritizing the main roads and essential routes. Local authorities are working diligently to ensure safety on the roads while managing the challenges posed by the heavy snowfall. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on weather conditions and road safety guidelines as the situation evolves.
