I wrote this in another thread on 6/1, and since it has come up again...

Regarding Mountain-forecast, every time a storm on Whitney is predicted, if you check the amount of snow predicted, they exaggerate the amount. For example, they are predicting 4 inches for this coming weekend; in contrast, the NOAA site calls for "A chance of snow showers." ...let's wait and see what actually comes in.

I haven't been keeping exact figures, but I am pretty sure if we kept track of the total predicted snows on Whitney over a year's time, it would add up to many feet.

Checking today, M-F called for 3.9" of snow. Checking the web cam for the day, NOTHING fell.
Personally, I don't give them much credence.
