Normally I'd welcome the snow, but I was planning to go to Snowshoe Mountain tomorrow for some skiing and now I may not be able to make the drive. The route up 77 and 81 will probably be impassable.

You should be fine on the interstate, however, 219 from Lewisburg may be a problem.

But if you can make it, you should really try and go, this storm should bring some of the best powder of the season

According to Weather.com, Snowshoe is only supposed to get 4-6 inches.

which is pretty good considering how the season has gone so far...

This year hasn't been especially kind to WV skiing, more so at Winterplace, but Snowshoe hasn't been immune to the warm streaks and whatnot

True. When I checked their site I was shocked to see that snowshoe had gotten over 70 inches of snow already this year.

I'm sure the 60 degree temperatures earlier this week didn't do them any favors.

I'm hoping things are in good order while I'm there.

I'm going to Canaan in a few weeks too. I really like Canaan because it is generally fairly empty since most people going to that area tend to go to Snowshoe or Timberline.

a fair portion of that 70 (maybe 25-30 inches) came pretty early during Sandy

Only got flurries here in Hburg

Only about 2.5 in central VA.

Man they hyped this thing big time here, saying 3-6" in my area but the cold change-over just never happened. Except for the mountain border counties, not much all around. I am 20 minutes south of Asheville and did not see one flake!
