A quick moving storm moved through the southeastern states on Sunday the 6th, bringing heavy wet snow.  A lull occurred by late in the day.  Snow and snow showers redeveloped again late Sunday night and continued on Monday, the 7th, especially across the mountainous counties.   It was the first significant snow storm of the 2001-02 winter season.  In some of the western lowland counties, it was the heaviest snow since 1996.   No snow cover existed prior to the storm in the lowlands. The snow accumulated from 3 inches in the valleys to around 8 inches on the hilltops across the western lowlands.   Maximum snow depths were 7 inches on the hills at Charleston, also 7 inches at West Union and Oak hill, 5 inches at Glenville and Logan, and 4 inches at Clarksburg.   Across the mountainous counties, snow accumulations ranged from 5 to 7 inches in the valleys to around a foot over the mountain ridges.   For example, the snow depth at Kumbrabow State Forest went from 4 inches prior to the storm to 16 inches.  At Snowshoe the snow depth went from an inch to 14 inches.  Mount Nebo saw their snow depth increase from an inch to eleven inches.    Elkins had 7 inches, while Beckley had 5 inches of snow accumulation.     An indirect death occurred in Charleston.  A 55 year old man died, after shoveling snow from his driveway.    A few power outages occurred in the western lowlands.  Most schools were closed on the 7th.
