| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A winter storm spread a mix of snow and freezing rain across all of northern West Virginia. By the afternoon of the 8th, snowfall amounts generally ranged from 3 to 5 inches across the area, with higher amounts of over 6 inches reported over some of the higher terrain in Preston and Tucker Counties. Humbleton, in Tucker County, reported a total of 13 inches. By the evening of the 8th the snow had turned over to freezing rain across the region and continued into the early morning hours of the 9th. Many areas across northern West Virginia reported ice accumulations of around 1/4 inch. As a result, over 8,000 people were without power by the evening of the 8th. This coating of ice also made travel extremely hazardous across the area. A 19-year-old female was injured on the afternoon of the 8th as her vehicle slid off Interstate 68 and down and embankment near Bruceton Mills in Preston County. |
