Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Wednesday 10. March 2021

Snøoverflata ber no preg av kraftig vind frå søraust med stort snøtransport i fjellet. Det har også mykje vind førre helg som ga snøtransport til heng mot Ø og S. Den siste snøen har lagt seg på eit smelteomvandla dekket etter det kraftige mildvêret tidlegare i førre veke.
Før det siste snøfallet var det generelt lite snø for årstiden, spesielt i ytre del.

Vedvarande svake lag frå kuldeperioden i januar er i stor grad nøytralisert opp til ca 1300 moh pga kraftig mildvær. Over denne høgda kan laget framleis vere eit problem nokre stadar.

Det er onsdag observert kraftig snøfokk i fjellet fleire stadar i regionen.
