Snow layers and snow cover
Snowfall is expected during southerly winds in the next days but northeast wind on Sunday. Windslabs could form on the lee side over the weekend. Warm weather on Thursday led to a thaw at higher elevations. A snowpit made in Seljalandsdalur on Wednesday shows that the snow pack is pretty stable after freezing and thawing, but a weak layer was at around 5 cm depth. It is expected to gain strength in the ongoing unstable weather.
