Snow cover (in Norwegian)
Den siste tida har mildvêr og sol påverka snødekket. Det har vore stor snøsmelting og snøgrensa har blitt noko høgare. Snøen er dei fleste stadar smelteomdanna, og frys om natta i høgda. Snøen er likevel lagdelt, og det finnast både harde skarelag der vatn kan hope seg opp, og gamle kantkornlag. Det har gått store til svært store skred på desse i starten av veka.
