Isolated danger zones in gullies and bowls

Isolated danger zones in gullies and bowls

Older snowdrift accumulations are generally small-sized, triggerable only in isolated cases, esp.on wind-protected shady slopes above 2000m, esp. in transitions into gullies and bowls and at the foot of rocky cliffs and behind protruberances in the landscape. Apart from the risks of being buried in snow masses, the danger of being swept along and forced to take a fall require consideration.

The older snowdrifts blanket a weak old snowpack. The snowpack is highly diverse even over small areas. Only little snow on the ground from region to region below 1600m. Clear nighttime skies are forecast, with low temperatures and low air moisture. Thus, the snowpack will expansively metamorphose during the nocturnal hours. The snowpack is highly diverse even over small areas. Below 1600m very little snow on the ground.

Intermittently dense clouds moving in during the afternoon from the south, occasional bright spells possible, mostly dry. Southerly winds will be moderate-strength, stronger only in summit zones. At 3000m: -7 degrees; at 2000m: -1 degree. Source: GeoSphere Austria
