The official published National Weather Service (NWS) Cooperative Weather/Climate station on Canaan Valley's floor (3,254 ft.) has only reported 55.1 inches of snow for the 2019-20 winter through February 25, 2020.  This is one of the lowest snowfall totals to that date in the Valley's 76-year snowfall record (began 1944-45).  The 7-inch maximum depth recorded so far this winter is also currently the lowest maximum winter snow depth ever recorded in any winter!

We got over 8" of snow last night in our area.  Still coming down and should have snow chances through Saturday.  At least one last wintry weekend if anyone is looking for snow adventures.  Skiing in Canaan should be great this weekend!

Music to my ears! Will be there Saturday. Doing the sled trail at blackwater Saturday afternoon then Whitegrass Sunday. Here's hoping to snow all day and tomorrow for y'all!
