Mountain snow likely this weekend
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. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well. |
Models seem to finally be in better shape about bringing the first snow and subfreezing temperatures to the West Virginia mountains. Snow could begin falling as early as Friday in the highest northern mountains, and slowly spread southward over the weekend.

The chances for measurable accumulations are better in the northern mountains into Maryland and the Pennsylvania Alleghenies. Farther south (around Beckley), surface temperatures below 3,000 feet will probably be too warm for anything to stick. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see Flat Top pick up a dusting.
