Ian,
From reading your Twitter post, you have slightly misunderstood smick's report. The photo that you used on Twitter is to the NW of Lower Man, in the unamed cwm containing Brown Cove Crags. I don't know exactly where smick spotted it but have put an arrow in a likely spot (Brown Cove crags.JPG). Your flag is for the usual snow patch at the top of the gully SE of Lower Man.
The Brown Cove snow patch that is usually the last to go was completely gone on Sunday. <Brown Cove no patch.jpg>
From the fact that the grass around the likely last spot was not too flat and yellow and the mud in the gully was dry, I would estimate 12/13 for the last snow there <Looking down Brown Cove gully.jpg>.
