More Snow On The Way, But Previous Warm Weather May Soften The Blow

By Elaina Sauber With a winter weather advisory in place for most of the state Monday, last week's balmier temperatures may help lessen the snow accumulation between now and Wednesday. Faith Borden, warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Charleston forecast office, said multiple cold fronts from the west and northwest would likely have a mixed impact across West Virginia, with more snowfall expected in the eastern counties. A winter weather advisory calling for 4 to 8 inches of snow was issued at about noon Monday for Pocahontas and Randolph counties. Another weather advisory for the rest of the state predicts 2 to 6 inches of snowfall, "with varying intensity" over the next 36 hours, which went into effect at 7 p.m.
