I områder med sammenhengende snødekke består snøoverflaten hovedsakelig av fokksnø med varierende hardhet. Vindutsatt terreng er avblåst til bakken eller skare. Det gamle snødekket antas generelt stabilt etter mildvær og gjenfrysing.
Tirsdag meldte observatør om kraftig snøfokk i høyden lengst øst i regionen. Mandag ble det rapportert om at fersk fokksnø løsner ved liten belastning ved skianlegget i Øverøyane.
