Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Monday 03.12.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Some new snow, but generally stable conditions. Small wind slabs in isolated areas are possible.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Sunday 2. December 2018

Det har kommet opp mot 20 cm nysnø siste døgnet, men fortsatt er det mindre snø enn normalt i regionen. I høyfjellet kan dette være vindpåvirket og ha lagt opp myke ferske flak, vesentlig i nordlige fjellsider. Det gamle snødekket under fokksnøen har tidligere vært gjennom mildvær og gjenfrysing. Dette er i stor grad hardt og stabilt, men har liten utbredelse.

Det er observert overflaterim i enkelte nordlige fjellsider etter klarvær og kulde siste uken.

Mountain weather

Sunday 2. December 2018

12-16 mm precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -11 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 3. December 2018

10-14 mm precipitation. Breeze from northwest, changing to strong breeze from the northwest during the evening. -4 °C to 0 °C at 1400 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

Det ventes noe pålagring av nysnø i høyden, men med skiftende vindforhold vil dette kunne legge seg i ulike fjellsider. Nysnøen ventes å feste seg relativt raskt til den gamle fokksnøen fra de siste dagene. Over ca 1000 moh kan det finnes rimlag under fokksnø som kan utgjøre et svakt lag, men utbredelsen er nok begrenset.
