Canaan Valley’s Impressive Snow Totals

I recently reported measuring over 80″ of snow this season at my location in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. A little more than 70 miles to the west in West Virginia, Canaan Valley is now reporting over 246″ of natural snow this season.

My wife and I went skiing at Canaan Valley Resort a few years ago. It’s a nice state owned resort, not too far from the DC area.

Winter Weather Update

I updated my snow chart showing I’m up to 78 1/16th inches this season. Some of the more recent events have mostly missed me off to the east, including the the most recent snow storm that slammed areas in the Northeast.

Snowfall totals can vary widely even over short distances. Loudoun County, Virginia has picked up a lot of snow this season including much more than I received during the February 10th event. CapitalWeatherGang readers may also be interested to hear that I heard from BlueRidgeMike who measured more snow than me during some events. He lives just a few miles north of my location. Just over 70 miles away to the west, Canaan Valley has recorded over 217″ of snow so far this winter. Their figure is not even completely up-to-date as they received more snow this weekend while I only saw flurries.

Next chance of accumulating snow is Tuesday night/Wednesday
