Snow layers and snow cover
New snow in the mountains after NE-snowstorm. Considerable snow is forecasted on Wednesday with blowing snow, so wind slabs will continue to form and will likely be unstable at first. Snowpit from Oddsskarð on April 14 showed weak layers and unstable slabs. Weak layer could be present in the old snow at very high elevations.
Recent avalanches
Small sluffs released in many places in the new snow on April 14. A wide wet slab fell in Reyðarfjörður, likely on the morning of 8 April, at 1200 m elevation and on an east facing slope.
Weather forecast
Strong northeast wind and considerable snow on Wednesday. Northwesterly wind on Thursday and Friday and chances of snowshowers. Becoming colder on Thursday.
