Betting on snow: results

Last week I invited you to bet on the snow that was supposed to cover everything this weekend. The question was how much snow will fall on the upper slopes in Bansko.

That is not the result everyone was hoping for, but let me give you the bets that were made, at least some people will be proud of their great forecasting ...

mike 4
boro_dave 5
Simes 5
Bansko George 10
Mairead/Sean 25

I bow to there intuition. However, according to the Standart newspaper there is a much heavier peiod of snow expect later in the week and going into next week. Looks like i have chosen the right time for my annual week's skiing in Bansko this year. Only 5 more sleeps!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

I am sitting in front of the computer with a couple beers - practising you see!!! Booze Booze
