MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Crews with the West Virginia Department of Highways (WVDOH) in all 55 counties are preparing for the latest batch of winter weather.
“We prepare for an inch of snow the same way we prepare for 12,” said Joe Pack, P.E., WVDOH Chief Engineer of District Operations.
The Morgantown area is bracing for about one inch of snow, but the situation to the east is much different, according to meteorologist Colton Milcarek.
“For the ridges right now, we’re looking for anywhere from two to four inches by the time it’s all said and done,” Milcarek said.
Forecasters predict one to three inches of snow in the Beckley area overnight, one to two inches in the Charleston area, about half an inch around Wheeling, and varying amounts at other locations throughout the state. In Elkins, predictions were for two to four inches, with perhaps an additional two or three in the higher elevations.
