B737 V1, VMCG & Snow

My flight today was very light in a B737-7 and we were taking off from a runway that had less than 1" dry snow. Our performance is automated and ACARS spits out the results and the FMC loads itself.

It came up with V1=108 and Vr and V2 much higher. The Vmcg for our airport/temp was 108 when we looked in the books. Also, according the books, the V1 should have been 102, had it not been limited by the Vmcg.

So V1 is raised to Vmcg, but what happens to the 6 knots where V1 was 102 and then raised to 108? How is this accounted for in the accelerate stop distance?
