New, sudden, acute winter, which has dropped temperatures by about ten degrees in Sardinia .
Cold with snow that will descend up to 500 meters, and so it will be for the whole week , predicts the meteorologist Alessandro Gallo. We will only see improvements over the weekend, between Saturday and Sunday.
Intermittent rains are also expected - abundant in Sarrabus and Ogliastra, tending to be weak in the rest of the island - which are a blessing for the island's water basins after an excessively dry autumn .
With temperatures plummeting, the regional civil protection has issued a new notice of adverse weather conditions for snow and ice on the roads . Late at night and in the early hours of the morning, the formation of ice on the road surface is very probable, the Traffic Police and Anas have already been at work with the salt spreaders in the center of the island since yesterday.
The major communication arteries ( the Statale 389 which leads from the Nuorese to Ogliastra and the 131 which always creates inconvenience on the Campeda plateau ) and the mountain roads (the provincial 7 Fonni-Desulo already two weeks ago created many inconveniences to motorists ).
Travel only if necessary and always with chains on board or winter tyres, warns the Polstrada di Nuoro, which recommends maximum attention especially in the evening and early in the morning.
