AW: Im Oktober in den Norden
Yes here I am
I have to comment on a route that ends up about 500 metres from my home! From my house I see the mountain Mjønestinden, you plan to pass it on the northern side. It has not yet been covered in snow, but it could happen any day now. About temperature you may have anything between -15C to +10C the time you plan to walk. Most probable is arond -5C I have walked 75% of the planned route, both summer and winter.
Please rembmber that you certainly will have slippery conditions. The first snow will melt and freeze several times, making the track partly extremely slippery. Take care, do not hurry or take any risks.
Myself we plan to take a tour in the Sulitjelma area this weekend. And also here it is promised to be a small cover of snow on the track. The best source for probability regarding climate is the senorge.no page. There you may see climate data back to 1960. From 15.10 we are allowed to put on spiked tires on our cars here, and this is for a reason. There has been years with up to 80cm snow here on the coast on that time, and sure there are more in the mountains. But it has also been years with no snow until after christmas.
Valnesfjord has a very local climate. I remember one year we had our camping-wagon there. Here at home I did not use the snowshowel at all, but in Valnesfjord I had to dig 50cm down to get to the ROOF of the campingwagon, then 2m more down to get the door open! This was in march, and it is not probable with such amounts before christmas. Just an example of how local climate may differ within very small areas.
