Snow cover (in Norwegian)
Mildvær forrige uke gjorde snøoverflate våt og fuktig oppover i fjellet. Men tidligere i uken kom det noe nysnø i fjellet og snøoverflaten er en blanding av gammel igjenfrosset snø, ubunden nysnø og små fokksnøflak.
Små str.1 skred observert i sydøstlig eksposisjoner ved Honningsvåg mandag.
Snødekket er generelt tynnere og fuktigere i sydlige himmelretninger, mens snødekket er tykkere og kaldere i nordlige himmelretninger.
