Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Friday 3. May 2019

Litt nedbør siste døgnet, men snødekket framstår for det meste som smelteomvandla og stabilt. Det har vore høg temperatur i fjellet og jamn mykje avsmelting sidan før påske. Snøoverflata sin hardleik varierar med temperatur, fuktighet og vind.
Snøgrensa har det siste døgnet vore synkande, men ein må opp i 6-800 meter for å finne skiføre.
