Der det ligger sammenhengende snø består snøoverflaten hovedsakelig av vindpåvirket snø av varierende hardhet. Det gamle og stedvis beskjedne snødekket antas stabilt etter mildvær og gjenfrysing, unntatt i de høyestliggende områdene. Det er generelt lite snø under ca 1000 moh.
Observasjoner fredag viser at det er mye vann i snødekket.
