W. Va. Sees Harsh Winter
WEST VIRGINIA....
Since the week before Christmas, West Virginia has experienced constantly repeated snowfall, with very few breaks in between. Snowfall totals from this past week alone put about five inches on the ground in Charleston, seven inches in Ripley and six inches in Hamlin. Higher elevations have seen very little melting since December 18th. The highest snowfall total recorded in West Virginia is at the remote McCross reporting unit outside of Rainelle in Greenbrier County where 35 inches of snow were on the ground, as of Friday.
