Snow cover (in Norwegian)
Forrige helg var det plussgrader og regn opp til ca 800 moh. Mandag sank temperaturen, og det har siden vært snøbyger med vind fra omkring nordvest som legger nysnøen ujevnt fordelt i terrenget.
Før mildværet var det vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn og begerkrystaller mange steder. Dette fantes enten ved bakken, i forbindelse med skare eller i lag under fokksnøen. Det er uvisst hvordan mildværet har påvirket vedvarende svake lag, men sannsynligvis er de ødelagt i lavereliggende områder.
