Anyone able to comment on how extensive it is now?

Weekend looks warmish and I don't really want to be ploughing up Ben More (or other) in soft snow (well, at least not below 600m)

Looks very patchy indeed: http://www.benmorewebcam.co.uk/gallery.php and http://www.lochlomondshores.com/view-the-webcam/ (click on recent images)

Not sure about Ben More but was up Beinn Luibhean yesterday afternoon, barely touched snow all the way to the summit, just crossing a number of large snow patches, all very soft/slushy.
Looked like Narnain & Ime were in similar condition the trade routes looked almost bare of snow, still plenty of snow of the north corrie of Narnain and on the north slope of the Cobbler just below the summit.
Ben Lomond on Tuesday evening had a bit of soft slush covering harder icy patches on the steepest part of the climb up from Ptarmigan to the summit and icy slush initially on the way down but melting fast.

In reply to Flinticus: Snow wasnt great earlier in the week but it was beautifully sunny and warm. Monday I was up in Tarmachan/Lawers plodding through soft,very wet snow for the final hundred meters or so to tops
Tuesday a wander up Ben Achalader was similar with little to no snow below the col .It was 12c and hot in Crianlarich. Looked like you could get a long way up Ben More without getting on too much snow
