Hiking - too early in the season? (Appenzell area)

Saturday (Feb 15) is going to be bright and unseasonably warm, apparently. Is it too early to think of going for a hilly hike?

I need to run an errand around Urnäsch / Appenzell area which could be an ideal opportunity to go for a decent walk. Anyone know if there's still much snow about up there? I know there will be plenty of low-level trails open but is it too hazardous to go for a tramp across the hills at the moment? I can't find a particularly detailed snow report map covering that area.

Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
