i live in west virginia but in the valley 20 miles east of charleston. from where i live u start going up in elevation so in this state whatever elevation is nite & day. last nite we had some strong winds & white out conditions here & there. i was out driving & did a donut on the main road on a curve. everything was snow covered & was snowing so hard. here in the valley though we havent had the big snows like u guys (although i wish we would get one) im 35 & hubby is 47 just a long winter with 2&half year old stir crazy & hubby has now been put on low earnings. hey on the upside i have tulip sprouts in my flower bed seriously i like the weather channel & ive been watchin all the snow you guys are getting seeems like they would have national guard given out food of course my body could take a piece of bread & make it last a year! winters have been so mild up until few years ago i guess we got spoiled. u guys are a little older but like everyone said its good neighbors help. well--spring solstice not too far away.
