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.
