Torsdag og natt til fredag er det kommet ca. 25 cm ubunden nysnø. Den underliggende snøen i lavlandet er gjennomfuktet av mildværet tidligere i uken. I høyden så har kraftig vind og snøvær ført til en vindpåvirket snøoverflate med store ansamlinger av fersk fokksnø i leheng.
Det har løsnet flere middels store snøskred i fersk fokksnø de siste dagene.
