Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Sunday 20.02.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
The danger increases when the wind picks up in the evening. Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Avalanches can trigger naturally.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Saturday 19. February 2022

Opp til 600-800 moh er det skarelag med nysnø over. Høyere oppe er det nå generelt store mengder snø. De fleste steder er snøen bundet i flere myke flak med ulike sjiktoverganger innad. I lune formasjoner er det løs snø.

Det er funnet kantkorn under fokksnøen på 700moh ved Stryn. Dette kan ha blitt dannet etter mildværet sist helg. Utbredelse er usikker og dette regnes ikke som et skredproblem i dag.

Mountain weather

Saturday 19. February 2022

8 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the evening. -13 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 20. February 2022

8 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from west, changing to moderate gale from the southeast during the afternoon. -12 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

Enkelte store skred vil kunne løsne av seg selv. Det vil bli påfyll av nysnø samtidig som det er mye løs snø i terrenget, vindtransporten vil være stor. Skiftende vindretning gir utsatte leheng i alle himmelretninger. Områder med mest byger eller mye løs snø tilgjengelig for transport vil ha høyest skredfare.
