CHARLESTON, WV - The area's first notable snow event of the year came at an inconvenient time, right at the height of evening rush hour traffic. Numerous accidents along with cars and trucks unable to climb the slippery hills made for slow going on the roads for evening commuters. By morning, 3-4 inches of snow blanketed most of Charleston.

Snow tops the State Capitol dome.

Many streets around town remained untreated Wednesday morning.

Conditions were good for sledding at Oakwood Terrace...

..but not so good for drivers, who slid uncontrollably down the hill.

The ice on the frozen Elk River ended at the Kanawha.

The interstate was finally clear by Wednesday morning.

We won't be needing these anytime soon.

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and shut down my operation.

My work is, at this very moment you are reading this, generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I was forced to shut down the professional side of my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.
