The changeable weather, with varying degrees of plus and minus, brings with it the risk of slippery conditions as well as dangerous icy patches, so property owners need to monitor the amount of snow on their roofs, remove snow and dangerous icy patches, and provide de-icing in the area around their property.
The first snow fell in Tallinn last night and the weather forecast for today's forecast is rain and sleet, with roads likely to become slippery with night-time temperatures below freezing. The City of Tallinn's contractors will be carrying out preventative de-icing on major roads, but all road users should be cautious.
