I'm supposed to be riding it this weekend and wondered if the snow has gone that far south? Does it look possible?

Snow on Dumyat and small flakes lying down at sea level in Stirling.

And if no one has posted up a definitive answer by 10am I'll wander to the end of the road for a look.

Working from home today so can only see Dumyat, Stirling Castle and the Wally Monny from the window 8)

Campsies were covered in snow this morning - too overcast to see Ben Lomond, but its a safe bet it'll be white from the top to fairly far down at the moment!

Hmmm. We may be denied. I suspected this winter had a sting in its tail after we rode 44kms in the hills the other day in shorts and T-shirts and catching the sun on my arms and legs!

Popped out at lunchtime.
Ben Ledi has a good covering. Ben Lomond wasn't visible. Dumyat is snow free again.

Snow on the Kilpatrick hills this morning, so I reckon you might need your skis up on Ben Lomond this weekend.
I get a good view of it on the way home, visibility permitting.

Drove past it this morning, quite a bit of snow into the treeline, well below the saddle etc. I was up it on Sun and there is still a few patches of snow high up. I imagine it would be unridable to be honest and its raining/sleeting outside now(inveraray) so imagine it's snow above the treeline.
