| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong winter storm approached the region from the south central U.S., bringing a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain to northern West Virginia. Snowfall amounts of between 2 and 3 inches were reported across the panhandle counties during the day of the 2nd. Otherwise, slightly lesser amounts of between 1 and 3 inches were found across the remaining sections of northern West Virginia. Some isolated higher amounts of between 4 and 6 inches were reported on some of the mountain ridges of Preston County. Most problems came later on the 2nd as the snow turned over to freezing rain. Ice accumulations of between 1/4 and 1/2 inch were reported across much of the area. This freezing rain caused numerous power outages which lasted into the early morning hours of the 3rd. In Preston County, 22 elderly residents of an apartment complex in Masontown were evacuated on the evening of the 2nd as a power outage cut off their electric heat. |
