That would yield an additional 4-8 inches, and I think a few inches of lake fluff in behind will boost that to 6-10. Totals would be 14-18 inches, which is precisely what the Blizzard Warning text indicates.Mantis Tobogganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104491137465766315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-70674567288008509712014-03-12T17:44:21.943-04:002014-03-12T17:44:21.943-04:00If anyone can do it you can but perhaps GJ is on t...If anyone can do it you can but perhaps GJ is on to heavy lake enhancement coming who knows.
