Snow layers and snow cover
New wind slabs are expected to form in mountains due to snowfall and NE snowdrift that started on Sunday. The snow pack could become even more unstable with more snowfall and drifting snow in the next few days. Before, there was little snow left in lowlands, with old snow in mountains and gullies that became homogenous and stable in a warm period.
Recent avalanches
A slab avalanche fell in Reithólaskarð in Hlíðarfjall in approx 700 m elevation, likely on Saturday 12.4. Many wet sluffs fell in Hlíðarfjall and across the region in warm weather last week.
Weather forecast
Northeasterly wind and intermittent snow. Becoming a bit colder on Thursday and decreasing wind.
