Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Tuesday 28.12.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Use caution in isolated features with wind slabs. Buried surface hoar may be present in the snow pack.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can easily 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) 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 27. December 2021

Det er svært lite snø i regionen. Snøoverflaten preges av vekslende skare med mye oppstikkende stein og vegetasjon. I formasjoner som samler snø høyt til fjells, kan det finnes sammenhengende snødekke med noe fokksnø i overflaten.

Kaldt klart vær har dannet overflaterim på hard snøoverflate.

Sist uke har det vært kaldt, stabilt vær og lite nedbør.

Mountain weather

Monday 27. December 2021

3-4 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from southeast. -19 °C to -8 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 28. December 2021

5-8 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from southeast. -11 °C to -6 °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

Vind fra SØ og noe nysnø kan gi små ferske fokksnøflak. I enkelte formasjoner som samler snø høyt til fjells kan den ligge på nedføyket rim. Eldre fokksnø finnes i flere himmelretninger, men har svært begrenset utbredelse og er vanskelig å påvirke.
