Snow In State
WEST VIRGINIA...
They're digging out in many parts of West Virginia after a winter storm that left behind a couple of feet of snow in some areas. West Virginia Emergency Services Director Jimmy Gianato says the Northern Panhandle and the Eastern Panhandle took the brunt of it. More than 30 inches of snow was reported unofficially in parts of Jefferson County, 30 inches in Pocahontas County, 18 inches in Monongalia County, between nine and 15 in Greenbrier County, eight inches in Raleigh County and upwards of a foot in Brooke County and other parts of the Northern Panhandle.
The American Red Cross has already set up emergency shelters and is working with the Salvation Army. When the power goes out in some areas, other utilities, including water, are knocked off as well.
