Snow cover (in Norwegian)
Den siste uka har det stedvis kommet 40-60cm nysnø i fjellet som har lagt seg over et solid skarelag etter mildværet i midten av april. Mye mindre nysnø i indre deler av regionen. Torsdag og fredag var det en del vind fra NV, så mye av nysnøen har blitt flyttet inn i leområder og bundet i fokksnøflak av ulik hardhet.
Det finnes vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn dypt i snødekket, men det skal trolig mye til for å påvirke disse nå.
