Snow For The Mountain State
WEST VIRGINIA....
As the National Weather Service forecast conditions perfect for significant snowfall in West Virginia this weekend, residents braced themselves Friday for the predicted snowfall accumulations of 3 to 5 inches in the Ohio Valley and western lowlands, while folks in central and northern West Virginia anticipated seeing 6 to 10 inches. Forecasters predict the West Virginia mountains could be looking at more than 20-inches of snow this weekend, creating a possibility for the biggest snowstorm in several years. The National Weather Service says since we are in an El Nino year, and, typically those years are marked by fewer snow events, the ones we get are more significant.
