Avalanche warning for region Nord-Trøndelag Wednesday 05.02.2020

Danger level 4 - High avalanche danger

Published:
Dangerous avalanche conditions due to large amounts of new snow and strong winds. Natural avalanches are likely. Avoid avalanche terrain.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

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

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.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 5. February 2020

20 mm precipitation, up to 50 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from west, changing to breeze from the northwest during the evening. -12 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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

Mye nysnø og kraftig vind gir store ustabile nysnøflak i leområder for vestlig vind. Naturlig utløste skred forventes. Varslet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn regionale varsler, og utgis kun ved faregrad 4 og 5.
