| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A powerful winter storm brought another combination of snow and freezing rain to all of northern West Virginia. The precipitation began as a mix of snow and freezing rain across the panhandle counties, and as freezing rain across the remainder of northern West Virginia. By the time the freezing rain turned back over to all snow during the evening hours of the 14th, ice had accumulated to at least 1/4 inch across the area. Some areas in Marshall and Preston Counties reported over 1 inch of ice accumulation. The ice accumulation brought numerous power lines and large tree branches down, resulting in power outages to over 10,000 homes across the area. In Preston County alone, over 3,000 homes were without power, producing what the power company called "the worst power outage in the county since 1983". |
