Keypoints
The snowpack is generally considered to be isothermal after warm days. Some new snow in next days can form windslab.
Snow layers and snow cover
The snowpack is generally considered to be isothermal and in spring condition but still some deep weak layers might be found in the highest peaks as was the case last Tuesday when a wide and deep slab was triggered by an snowmobile. Now the temps are dropping below zero which will increase the stability. Some new snow in next days can form windslab.
Recent avalanches
A wet slab was triggered by a snowmobile last week in SW aspect in Upsadalur west of Dalvík. The fracture was about 250 m wide and 1 m thick in about 700 m elevation.
Weather and weather forecast
SW-wind and snowshowers on Thursday rain in lowland. N-wind and some new snow on Friday. SW-wind and dry on Saturday.
