Avalanche problems
Avalanche Activity
Small snowdrift accumulations have been generated due to some fresh snow and wind
The small amount of fresh snow still results in only low avalanche danger. As a result of fresh snow and strong westerly winds, small snowdrift accumulations are prone to triggering at high altitudes. Risks of falling need to be taken into consideration.
Snowpack Structure
Amid intermittently strong winds, snow has been intensively transported. The fresh snow and drifts were able to settle in the higher temperatures on Saturday and Sunday morning, and consolidate. At low altitudes there is very little snow on the ground, conserved due to the low temperatures.
Weather Synopsis
Nocturnal hours: skies mostly heavily overcast accompanied by snow showers down to low lying areas. The amounts of fresh snow will be minor. Thursday: variably cloud, very cold mountain weather. Clouds and fog will dominate. Light snowfall in repeated bouts. Brief intervals of brightness are possible. At 2000 m: -13 degrees; moderate NW winds.
Tendency
Friday will be heavily overcast, hardly any sunshine, a bit of minor snowfall, and it will remain cold. Setting and consolidating processes will proceed only slowly due to the low temperatures. Avalanche danger will not change significantly.
