Very likely. Already two weeks ago the road was just muddy in the afternoon after they plowed and the sun melted the rest. I only drove to the pass because I was too early

For me it mostly works out. I look at "Weather in detail" on ARSO:
http://meteo.arso.gov.si/met/sl/app/webmet
>> Model forecast >> ALADIN >> Cloudiness and precipitation
In the forecast for the mountains it sometimes writes something about the height of cloudiness, i.e. mainly when it is just fog in the lowlands. If it is at all heights, of course it makes no sense. Here: http://meteo.arso.gov.si/met/sl/weather/bulletin/mountain/

And it is good to follow those cloudiness maps for a few days in a row, to see a bit if they are 100% accurate regarding clouds or not Today based on that I set off for Tromeja, because there was only in NW Slovenia a chance that there would be no clouds, and I hit the jackpot
And one such borderline case, say last November, when the only potential sunny area was around Krma and western Pokljuka. From Debele peči there was a fantastic view of Triglav through bands of clouds.
Well, I am not writing to brag, just as an example that it is possible even in unstable conditions to seek nice weather (blunders still happen) or to decide that it is really better to stay home or that there is no sense in driving to the other end of the country if I can walk in the fog at home.

Thanks, anyway I'd do a loop hike, though I doubt I'll make it this year, it was mainly an option because clouds were forecast elsewhere.

Luckily sunny even in Slovenia's farthest corner or maybe even better. Today at Tromeja fantastic, almost summer weather above fog, views to "all" Austria.

Today from Rateče to Tromeja. From halfway sunny and warm, for short sleeves or even topless, especially before the well-heated hut at the top.

Austria practically all above fog, except the cap on Dobrač and fog wisps drifting over Karavanke and Karnics. Julijci didn't want to show. Only in the afternoon in Planica did clouds blow away from immediate area for moments.

Pictures coming. But who knows the highest peak visible left of Dobrač?

Thanks. I'm aware things can change quickly. Overnight there'll obviously be a bit more snow, so we'll probably go somewhere lower.

And does anyone know what Ojstrnik is like in winter or with current snow amounts. Can one go without special winter gear?

I agree, I also found some changes on my hikes. That's why there are dates too, so you know how up-to-date the info is.

Here are the collected data, see left "Lists of peaks with stamps: http://graph-srv.uni-mb.si/obhodnice/

"stamp in the inn of RTV center in Planica", data from 24.9.2011

Was anyone/will anyone be on Stol this weekend?

Near Istanbul, more precisely above Bursa is Uludag, otherwise the most popular ski resort for Istanbulites. But I have no idea what it looks like from the plane.

As announced, I was on Friday, 26th, on the way to Triglav. Up through Prag, down Tominškova, both completely dry. About 10 minutes from Staničeva-Kredarica junction snow started, only in patches and 1-2 cm, pity buddy had only sneakers, so we tried a bit and soon turned back as too slippery, in boots fine. By photos probably similar to the top, so some caution and holding chains, goes without issues.

Instead we headed to Staničeva hut and Visoka Vrbanova špica, snow just a sample and fully southern, probably gone by today.

ARSO says 3 cm, probably it'll be ok.

There won't be much snow by the weekend, but I have time only tomorrow Currently it looks quite snowy, but probably thinner than it seems. Hope it melts by noon

Is Snežnik in May so uninteresting that no one was up there?

Thanks!
