Wind and snowfall increase the danger of avalanches.
Places with blowing snow are particularly dangerous, as even a small load can trigger a small to medium-sized avalanche. Places where fresh snow has fallen on hard and icy ground are particularly dangerous.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
It started snowing today, with about 10 cm of light snow falling, carried by a strong northeasterly wind in exposed areas. New fallen snow has fallen on hard and icy ground and is therefore quite unstable. Particularly in places with blown snow, there is a greater danger of triggering an avalanche of packed snow.
Tendency
Snow will continue overnight, with 5 to 10 cm of light and fluffy snow expected, least in the western Julian Mountains and the western Karavanke Mountains. Wind will carry snow in exposed positions.

Treeline
More amount of new snow with wind.
The new light snow has not adhered well to the old snow base. In moderate to strong north-easterly winds, slush is forming. Above the forest line in the Snežnik area, a snow avalanche can be triggered even at low loads. Spontaneous avalanches are also possible.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
When it snows, the snowpack increases rapidly. Between 30 and 40 cm of light, dry snow fell on hard ground above about 1300 m. At the same time, moderate to strong winds are blowing, carrying the snow and building drifts and drifts. The snowpack is markedly uneven. There is a lot of blowing snow, especially on the leeward slopes.
Tendency
Snow will weaken overnight and taper off during the day on Wednesday. An additional 10 to 20 cm of light snow may fall. Moderate to strong north-easterly winds will continue to blow, carrying snow and building drifts and drifts. Places with blowing snow will be dangerous.

Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
When it snows, the snowpack slowly increases. Between 20 and 40 cm of light, dry snow has fallen. At the same time, a moderate wind is blowing, which carries the snow and builds drifts and drifts. The snowpack is highly uneven. There is a lot of blowing snow, especially on the leeward slopes.
Tendency
There will be light to moderate snow at times. Snow will weaken overnight on Wednesday and taper off by Wednesday evening. A further 10 to 20 cm of light snow may fall.
