It's all thawed off with the mild temps and rain. I think Nevis still has some snow but I'd be doubtful about anywhere else.

A few long term forecasters are predicting there is a fairly high chance of a colder than usual winter but the Met Office aren't playing that game anymore and are being more cautious (see here).

For those of you on Twitter you can follow @uksnowalert. For non-twits just use this link https://twitter.com/uksnowalert

ps - there was a bit of snow about on Sunday in the Cairngorms but I should think that most below 1100m is gone by now. This was my view of Ben a'Ghlo:

There was a fair bit high up around Glen Coe a couple of days ago, dunno if the ski place is up and running yet.
