Snow cover (in Norwegian), 20.03.2023
Snøoverflaten preges av snøfall og kraftig vind fra SØ, torsdag og fredag forrige uke. Snøoverflaten varierer mellom fokksnø av ulik hardhet. I skjermete formasjoner finnes myke flak og løsere snø. Skiftende vær og temperaturer gjennom helgen har gitt skare i lavere høyder og solsider.
Det finnes kantkorn i forbindelse med skarelag. Enkelte steder er skarelaget tykt og gjør at kantkorn under skarelag er vanskeligere å påvirke.
