Key details
Snowstorm Anna continues to disrupt transport and weather conditions in Stockholm and southeastern Sweden on January 4, 2026. In Tullinge, a southern suburb of Stockholm, the storm caused ten buses to become stuck on Nibblevägen, significantly impacting public transit operations. Helene Jakobsson, spokesperson for Stockholm Public Transport (SL), explained that moving the buses was difficult due to their positioning, requiring tow trucks to assist. The situation led to delays, rerouted bus lines, and shortened services especially in Huddinge and Botkyrka. Passengers have been advised to monitor the SL app for the latest updates on delays and altered stops, with efforts to tow the trapped buses underway by evening.
Meanwhile, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has issued a new yellow warning for snowfall in southeastern Götaland, including Blekinge, northeastern Skåne, southern Öland, and parts of Småland, Halland, and Västergötland. This warning is effective from early morning to mid-afternoon on Monday, predicting 5-15 cm of snow, with localized amounts possibly higher. Additional yellow warnings are in place for Dalsland and Värmland in the afternoon and evening. The heavy snowfall is expected to disrupt travel and may cause power and telecommunications interruptions.
The ongoing storm and expanded warnings continue to challenge southern and Stockholm-area transport and infrastructure, underscoring the importance of staying informed via official channels.
