Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Wednesday 10. March 2021

Snøoverflata ber preg av kraftig vind og mykje snøtransport av snøen som kom førre veke. Laurdag vart det transportert mykje snø i heng mot aust og sør, mens det no er pågåande kraftig vind som gjev snøtransport til leområder mot nord og vest.

Mildvêret førre helg smelta vekk mykje snø og i låglandet er det lite eller ingen snø.

Vedvarande svake lag frå kuldeperioden i januar er i stor grad nøytralisert opp til ca 1300 moh pga kraftig mildvær. Over denne høgda kan laget framleis vere eit problem nokre stadar.

Det er onsdag observert naturleg utløyste snøskred i Nordfjord og Stryn.

Det er observert stor snøfokk i fjellet pga kraftig vind fleire stadar i regionen.
