Snow cover (in Norwegian)
Wednesday 9. March 2022
De siste dagene har vært preget av mildvær og mye nedbør.
Over 500 moh, der nedbøren har kommet som snø, er det nå betydelig ansamling av fokksnø i leområder. De mest vindutsatte områdene er avblåst.
Det er observert kantkorn i forbindelse med et skarelag fra januar. Laget er stort sett låst under hard fokksnø og er vanskelig å påvirke.

Avalanche risk assessment
Skredfaren øker i takt med mildværets ankomst. Det ventes naturlig utløste våte flakskred der regnet treffer tørt snødekke. Over mildværsgrensen vil det danne seg ustabile fokksnøflak i leområder. Disse kan være lette å løse ut.
