Feb 28(Fri)
A moderate at times briefly heavy snow from 7-10 am. I picked up 1.8″ in that time. Late morning from Garrett County and north skies went partly sunny for several hours. This rapidly settled the snow depth. Also in direct sunny areas, with the sun angle higher, some melt occured. If you record snow, it’s highly critical that you took your measurement and from here out take your measurement as soon as possible as the snow ends. Snow and clouds hung on through the day in Wv and some returned north near nightfall.
