Avalanche warning for region Voss Tuesday 14.03.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
There is a persistent weak layer buried in the snow pack, especially at tree line. Be careful in areas with wind deposited snow.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3). Remote triggering is possible.

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)

Monday 13. March 2023

Mildvær opp til 5-600 moh på mandagen har påvirket snødekket i lavlandet. Over skoggrensen er snøoverflaten preget av vind og består i hovedsak av harde fokksnøflak og skare. I skjermet terreng er det myk fokksnø.

Det har vært flere observasjoner av begynnende kantkorn rundt skarelag og nært overflaten den siste uken. Fokksnøen fra sist helg har stedvis lagt seg på kantkorn, og i enkelte isolerte lommer kan den ligge over rim.

Mountain weather

Monday 13. March 2023

8 mm precipitation, up to 16 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 500 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong breeze from south, changing to breeze from the southeast during the afternoon. -8 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 14. March 2023

8-12 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from north. -11 °C to -4 °C at 1100 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

Det kan fremdeles være lett å løse ut skred på vedvarende svake lag i snødekket. Drønn og skytende sprekker er tydelige faretegn. En rolig værtype senker faregraden. Små ferske fokksnøflak vil stabilisere seg raskt i relativt milde temperaturer.
