Yes it has been a very wet winter.
I'm leaving Portsmouth on the Tuesday Brittany Ferries crossing so have been watching conditions. According to reports on ThornTree there was a big dump about ten days ago with 20-25mm of packed snow above Imlil (Imlil near Asni, not Imilchil).
Tizi n'Tichka is well supported by snow ploughs and would undoubtedly have been cleared within 24 hours of the snow ceasing, Tizi n'Test is not so well supported (it's only an 'R' road) but would have been cleared within two-three days. The tarmac around Imilchil gets cleared once other roads are done so takes maybe three-four days. Pistes are not ploughed.
As you will see from the weather forecasts below there's likely to be some rain around in the next few days which may fall as snow at altitude.
