Snow cover (in Norwegian)
Mildværet søndag har sannsyligvis fuktet snødekket høyt til fjells. Etter dette har det blitt kaldere og snøbyger med kraftig vind har ført til ferske fokksnøflak flere steder. Fokksnøen varierer i tykkelse og hardhet, og særlig rundt tregrensa finnes det mykere partier. I skogen er det en del løssnø og på fjellet finnes det fortsatt partier som er avblåst.
Det finnes vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn nær bakken fra november. Stedene der dette er aktivt er imidlertid begrenset etter at snøoverflaten har vært vindherjet de foregående ukene.
Onsdag observeres begynnende kantkorndannelse i forbindelse med skarelagene høyere i snødekket.
