Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Friday 25.12.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in terrain with fresh storm slabs until the new snow is stabilized.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Buried weak layer of new snow

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)

Thursday 24. December 2020

Det har kome 30-40 cm snø dei siste dagane med store lokale variasjonar. Mykje av nedbøren har kome i vind frå NV-SV og vorte transportert inn i austlege leområder
Mildvêret førre helg fukta snøoverflata til topps i store deler av regionen og danna tynne smeltefryse sjikt i snøen.

I høgfjellet er det samanhengande skiføre, men ryggar og vindutsette områder er avblesne. Under skoggrensa er det lite snø.

Det er observert kantkorn enkelte stadar under 1400 moh, men utbreiinga virkar å vere begrensa. Det er uvisst korleis mildvêret har påverka kantkornlaga.

Mountain weather

Thursday 24. December 2020

6 mm precipitation, up to 12 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from north. -11 °C to -4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 25. December 2020

3-7 mm precipitation. Breeze from northwest, changing to moderate gale from the southwest during the afternoon. -13 °C to -5 °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

Vind med aukande styrke kan transportere snø som framleis ligg ubunden inn i nordaustlege leheng. Her vil ein få litt auka pålagring.
