Freshly blown snow
In recent days, small snow showers have been occurring in the mountains. The old snow base has 5 to 20 cm of snow, with slightly more in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and the Karavanke Mountains. The fresh snow was carried by a strong north-easterly wind, which built up new snow layers on the southern and western sides. The new fallen snow has not yet adhered to the older snow base. The danger is higher especially on sloping terrain and in ravines where the new fallen snow depths are higher due to snow accumulations. In addition to new fallen snow, weak layers in the snowpack deeper in the snowpack may be a problem in places. These weak layers are more prevalent in the axis above the forest. In particular, a large avalanche can be triggered if the load exceeds the load-bearing capacity of these layers.
Snowpack
dp.4: cold following warm / warm following cold
As the weather cooled, the older snow base froze. Dry and light snow, carried by the wind, has fallen on harder ground. During the snowfall, the local fall of Graupel, which can form a new Weak layer, has also occurred. Due to the influence of the sun, the snow on the Sunny slopes has already become black and froze during the night. In the old snow cover, the layers of snow are mostly well connected, with a Crust on top that can mostly support the weight of a pedestrian. Deep below the surface, there are several weak layers of shreds and sheared grains.
Tendency
The danger of snow will remain similar.
