Last night's storm of rain, sleet, and high winds apparently switched to all wet snow overnight because this morning there was about six inches of very heavy wet snow, plus the WV electricity went out till about 5-pm today.
The WV ski area has a back-up generator and the main quad lift was the only lift running today and at half the regular speed, but hey it was running so that was good news. Fridays are a twofer, 2 /$67 day so you got one lift at half speed for a twofer-half price.....such a deal!
Just down Route 49 about ten miles at Exit 28 in Campton, the ground looks pretty much brown grass with no snow. Just five miles down Rt 49 from the valley, the ground is looking like almost no snow.
Could be that last night's snow was the heaviest and most durable snow cover so far this season, and who knows, maybe it will hang around till April 5, and really power up the cross country ski trails. Then again, maybe it will melt, and the tennis courts will be bloom'n
