Just wondering what people's thoughts are on the rise in temperature and heavy rain that is forecast for tomorrow. Is it going to reset winter or is it just a blip? 

Thanks 

Maybe it will help consolidate the existing snow and make conditions better if it freezes soon after.

Freezing level forecast at 5-600m according to MWIS for Monday. Probably just ruin all the nice snow for skiiers but make it better for climbing.

not in the slightest, only a cosmetic thaw

Whilst it'll definitely strip it back a bit, as above it'll help settle things down and make mountain travel by foot a bit easier. Also, more snow forecast later in the week will come back in. Could be much worse basically!

this is what happens. It's perfectly normal. It's a reason to go higher, is all.

Yes. No. Maybe. Maybe not.

I'm on MLW course starting Monday, so have been watching carefully, and to me the forecast looks ok - lots of disappointing snow loss today and tomorrow but then cold and windy consolidation Mon/Tues followed by cold and snowy later in the week. It's just a very big Thaw-Freeze cycle.

That's assuming you're talking about Scotland.....  North Wales is already getting pretty bare with more mudslides reported than avalanches

Thanks for all the replies as mentioned it looks like this is just a big period of thaw then a good level of freeze coming back in as the week goes on with more snow forecast for Tuesday /Wednesday. Thinking its shaping up to be a good week to be off just got to make the most of it all some nav practice, snowboarding then hopefully a classic ice climb to finish the week off
