Winter returns to the Highlands

Although I have been off the hill for the last two days, a small amount of snow fell on the tops yesterday but today it has been snowing (though not really settling) at sea level. With the temperatures dropping and more snow due over the next few days I am hoping for good conditions for my final 2 weeks up in the Highlands. Back in the South West of England, friends of mine are reporting they are out rock climbing in the sun just in T-Shirts and although I am not quite ready to hang up the axes yet, that does sound appealing.
