Snow cover (in Norwegian), 20.03.2023
En god del løs ubunden snø eller myke flak i snøoverflaten de fleste steder. Dette ligger over eldre, hardere fokksnøflak.
Rundt eldre mildværsskare har det dannet seg et tynt lag med kantkorn, som har uviss utbredelse, særlig i høyden. Laget ligger i varierende dype og har bare stedvis vist evne til bruddforplantning.
Den siste uken har det vært kaldt og klart vær som har gitt god grobunn for kantkorn dannelse i løs nynsø høyere i snødekket. Hvor utviklet dette er, er fortsatt ukjent.
