A unique snow storm hit West Virginia on the holiday for Washington's Birthday.
Light snow began falling before dawn on the 16th in the southern coal field counties, then moved slowly north.  The snow reached the Little Kanawha Valley and the central mountains during the late morning hours. The temperature was only 5 to 10 degrees at the start of the storm.  The snow increased during the late morning into the afternoon, then decreased that evening.  The snow ended early on the 17th.
All during the storm, the temperature hovered on either side of 10 degrees.   Snow accumulations of 7 to 11 inches were common from the Huntington, Charleston to Marlinton corridor, on south into the southern coal field counties.  Further north, accumulations of 4 to 7 inches were measured.  For example, Pineville had 12 inches of snow, while Logan measured an 11 inch accumulation. Summersville, Marlinton and the city of Beckley had 10 inches.  Huntington had a 9 inch accumulation.  Charleston had 7 inches.  Sutton had a 6 inch accumulation.  The maximum accumulations from unofficial sources were near 14 inches from Mallory of Logan County and Oceana of Wyoming County.  Snow amounts were less toward Middlebourne, West Union, and Clarksburg.
This was the first significant snow storm of the 2014-15 winter for southern counties.
