| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A winter storm developed along the Georgia coast on the 27th, then intensified as it moved slowly northward along the eastern seaboard later on the 27th and 28th. The cyclone, which tracked to the Virginia capes by late afternoon on the 28th, spread a variety of winter weather across eastern West Virginia during a 24-hour period. as had been the case with other episodes during the 1997/98 winter, accumulations varied greatly with elevation. In the eastern panhandle, 1 to 2 inches of mixed snow, sleet, and rain fell. Over the lower elevations of the Potomac Highlands, roughly 2 to 6 inches accumulated. Some of the highest accumulations were noted across western Pendleton, Grant, and Mineral Cos (WVZ048>049-054), where 8 to 16 niches were noted. The largest individual totals reported were in Elk Garden (Mineral Co - 15 inches) and Hardy Co (20 inches).The weight of the snow likely caused tree limbs, some trees, and power lines to fall on the 28th, especially where more than 1 foot of snow accumulated. |
