A 1 to 2 foot snow fall occurred after several waves or intervals of snow.  Even heavier snow fell across portions of the eastern panhandle of the state.  It was the deepest snow storm since January 1996 for the north central lowlands.  The first interval of snow was from Friday night the 14th, into early Saturday, the 15th.  A lull took place during the day on the 15th, only to be followed by more snow Saturday night into Sunday.  Some freezing rain and sleet mixed with the snow late Sunday and Sunday evening.  The last band of significant snow passed late Monday afternoon, the 17th.  The snow depth at Clarksburg went from 2 inches prior to the storm, to 21 inches at the end.  Middlebourne went from an inch to 18 inches on the ground.  Bartow of Pocahontas County saw their snow depth increase from 8 inches to 24 inches.  The snow depth at Snowshoe went from 18 inches to 30 inches.  Grafton's snow depth went from 3 inches to 18 inches.  Elkins measured 16 inches on the ground, after starting with a 5 inch snow cover.   The snow depth at Belington of Barbour County went from 4 to 5 inches before the storm, to 16 inches.  West Union had no old snow, and ended up with 15 inches on the ground.  After starting the storm with bare ground, both Parkersburg and Cairo measured 14 inches of snow on the ground.   A spotter from Saint Marys reported their total snow depth as 17 inches.     At least 10 porch roofs or awnings collapsed in Harrison County from the weight of the snow.  Nutter Fort Fire Department checked out mobile homes that were leaking inside.  The volunteers then removed the snow from their roofs.  As a result of this storm, plus other lighter events, the preliminary monthly snowfall total at Clarksburg was 37.9 inches.  This was their snowiest February on record.  It was also their 2nd snowiest month, only exceeded by November of 1950.  The monthly snowfall total at Elkins was 29.5 inches, their 2nd snowiest February since 1899.   The 19.4 inches of snow at Parkersburg during the month of February was their 3rd snowiest February.
