Is there enough snow left anywhere for a useful tour?

Define "useful"...

If you are happy carrying, and want a reasonable amount of vertical, the Allt a' Chorie Mhoir looked possible from the top of Macdui down to below 750m last Saturday.

Hmmm...Wondering whether to drive up regardless - weather doesn't look too bad for the East Highlands (according to Winterhighland) - and there's apparently still the Ciste Gully (1200 ft+ vertical) and a lot of the Cas to go at??

Had considered Glencoe (assited by the Access Chair) but the forecast doesn't look too clever in the west.
