Snøoverflaten er preget av nysnø og vind de siste dagene. Stedvis finnes det store fokksnøflak mens vindutsatte plasser er avblåst med skare eller barmark. Det gamle snødekket antas å være stabilt etter "Gyda" og gjenfrysing, unntatt i terreng over ca 1300 moh.
Vedvarende svake lag kan fortsatt være intakte over ca 1300 moh, men stort sett i regionen antas det at Gyda har nøytralisert vedvarende svake lag.
Det ble meldt om 25 cm nysnø og lett snøfokk i Sogndalsdalen mandag morgen.
