Snow cover (in Norwegian)
Monday 13. May 2024
Helgens mildværet og regn har påvirket snødekket høyt til fjells. Hele snødekket er trolig smelteomvandlet og uten særlig lagdeling. I lavlandet begynner det å bli lite snø, særlig i sørvendt terreng.
For en uke siden ble det observert kantkorndannelse under skare ved Honningsvåg. Laget var til stedet før helgen, men status etter mildværet er uvisst.

Avalanche risk assessment
Når snøoverflaten blir fuktig og myk, blir våte løssnøskred vanligere i bratt terreng. Faren øker utover dagen i takt med stigende temperaturer og regn. Vær oppmerksom ved ferdsel over terrengfeller som klipper og bekkedaler. Hold avstand til skavler og glidesprekker.
