He admitted that this AM I thought I read.
A buddy said Dgo Weather Guy was calling out Purgatory for over reporting and needing ‘to tell the truth’ and move their weather station.
I was watching a few inches or so on the snow stake for a couple days and Purgatory reported 15” in 24hrs! We got 18” here so not sure what to believe from Purg as to real depth (now claiming 33” base from 21”), especially after riding the chair with a guy who lives a few miles (and lower) from Purg w/8” there. There was definitely good powder, however. Snotel sites almost corroborated Purg’s claim, though there is a long history of not jiving.
I’ve also been surprised with the snow amounts being more than expected many times.
