Snow cover (in Norwegian), 20.03.2023
Våt snøoverflate etter mye regn siste dager. Det er tydelige smelteriller opp til 900moh. Helt nord i regionen der fjelltoppene er høyest ligger det tørr fokksnø. Her har også den sterke vinden herjet og det antas alt fra hard fokksnø til avblåst terreng.
Det er observert kantkorn over skarelag som var lett å løse ut før flere runder med mildvær siste uke. Observasjoner søndag viser at disse avrundes i mildværet.
Mange våte løssnøskred observert søndag.
