So, ARSO says "only" 21 cm at LG's coordinates.
Or are they measuring with the wrong meters? Turbo, let's wait a bit instead, maybe some Slovenian drift even reaches half a meter? Let's be patient and learn.

Sorry LG, but to me this doesn't look like 39 cm

Well there is! Come up, take a meter with you, measure, it will show you around 35cm, because the first settled, new one today was around 20 cm. And don't look at ARSO because there's no data from our area, Katarina above Lj. is also right at the other end of the mountains. Drifts currently well exceed 1 meter. Regarding that, Oblak69 can confirm on Zevs forum too.

The temperature is currently -10.5°C at Kredarica -11, Krvavec -8 and Ljubljana -6°C... overnight -14°C, which is a record for our location, we are on top of the hill.

@Hribovc88
I measured something like that too. Maybe we are close to the gauge. 
Will you arrange sunshine for tomorrow so we can go somewhere.

Frost continues, in the mountains it was blowing and making drifts, or maybe someone knows what the conditions should be like, say on Stenar, Špik, Palec/Zelenjak or on Grintovec, because even here it's blown to the ground in places and piled lots of snow.
- General avalanche danger is moderate, i.e. level 2 on the European five-level scale.
- New snow has not bonded with the old, crusted base.
- Mainly dangerous are places with wind-packed snow and steep slopes. There, even with a small additional load on the snowpack, you can trigger an avalanche. Spontaneous avalanching is mostly not expected. On wind-scoured places there is a danger of slips.

Since the current conditions in the mountains regarding snowpack stability are poor, I found an instructive post by an experienced touring instructor from Val d'Isère and the first avalanche conditions evaluator Peter Hardy for issuing permits (where, if at all) for their guides and client groups. In the article he states that he somehow sniffs the air sideways and then turns towards the slope with a subtle sense. This probably determines moisture and snow smell, processing along with probably performing a previous avalanche test.
At the end of the description important guidelines are given on how to behave when caught in an avalanche, among them the most important, that a little before the avalanche deposits us (becomes static and compresses into itself and hardens due to mass), we are then most active with hands and feet (stay on surface), finally making an empty space in front of the face with hands for breathing.

In the above article under the title Related articles there are also two instructive links about assessment and help for those buried in an avalanche.

In Dolenjska it's increasing hour by hour. Official data for N.M. is 31 cm, but in Podgorje villages much more. On Gorjanci even much more.
Regards, now let's go break trail.

19 cm we have, early in the morning (07:28) one could observe a very nice sunrise, as there was a bit more clarity towards the east
