...SOME AREAS OF FREEZING DRIZZLE THIS EVENING...

Some areas of freezing drizzle are possible this evening, mixed at
times with snow. The freezing drizzle may create a thin layer of
icing on exposed surfaces and untreated roads. The risk of
freezing drizzle is expected to end later this evening with the
arrival of an arctic cold front.

This front is forecast to bring bands of moderate to heavy snow
showers, along with northwest wind gusts of 25 to 35 MPH. The
snow showers may reduce visibility to a half-mile or less for
brief periods and cause quick accumulation on untreated roads.

Motorists are urged to use caution while driving this evening.
Reduce speed and increase the distance between your vehicle and
those that surround you.

Net during the Severe Thunderstorm Warning this afternoon. The Marion
Skywarn Net had six check-ins.

I know that 15 total Skywarn check-ins may not sound like a lot. But it
is?especially when you consider that the Severe Thunderstorm Warning was
issued without any significant notice. And it occured in February. Who
expects Severe Thunderstorm Warnings in February?

But you were there on the W8MWA and W8SP repeaters letting us know that you
were monitoring and available!

The severe cell missed  most of us (thankfully) but those reports from
areas that were hit were very much appreciated and valued. The NWS
Pittsburgh said so and they said it publically:

*Thanks to the West Virginia ham radio operators on the Skywarn Nets,
 Jeffrey. Their reports were very helpful! *? Matthew Brudy, NWS Pittsburgh

So, yes. thank you for a job well done!

I am told that some (perhaps all) did not receive my entire message. That
may be because I wrote it on an iPad and the iPad decided to turn some of
the type to white. Why Apple thinks that white type on a white background
is a good idea, is beyond me! But I digress.

For those who did not receive the entire message, it is repeated
below--hopefully black type on a white background!

Let me pass on a word of appreciation from the NWS Pittsburgh and from me
personally.

We had nine stations check-in to our North Central West Virginia Skywarn
Net during the Severe Thunderstorm Warning this afternoon. The Marion
Skywarn Net had six check-ins.

I know that 15 total Skywarn check-ins may not sound like a lot. But it
is?especially when you consider that the Severe Thunderstorm Warning was
issued without any significant notice. And it occured in February. Who

	Activation
Message-ID: <CAAoba32e-fcOnFCOaoL0=bpGu6jsQrT3BuvMWizKouY2eGy1Ww@mail.gmail.com>

Here is our Skywarn plan for today (Sunday) and Monday:

*We will activate the North Central WV in Standby Mode on the W8MWA
repeater (145.430 MHz, standard offset, PL 103.5.) I will ask for your
snowfall and road reports at the top of the hour, every hour starting at
1000 (10 AM) EST.  You can also email your reports at any time to
jnfritz07 at gmail.com <jnfritz07 at gmail.com>.*

We will continue to ask for reports at the top of the hour throughout the
day and evening today depending on how this storm develops.

>From the NWS Pittsburgh:

*Snowfall is expected across the region today. In the lowlands, marginal
temperatures likely keep wet snow accumulations mainly on grassy and
elevated surfaces. In the WV ridges, heavier snow will fall and so totals
can reach above a foot at the highest elevations.*

*Remember: a Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the West Virginia ridges
for 6-12 inches of snow through tomorrow, with isolated higher totals on
the highest peaks. Also 2 to 6 inches is expected in the Winter Weather
Advisory area bordering the Warning (all of Marion and Monongalia
counties,) and 1 to 3 inches is expected elsewhere. *

*Note: The amount of snowfall in Marion and Monongalia Counties has been
pulled back by the NWS Pittsburgh to one to three inches of additional
accumulation. However, the NWS still expects heavy snow in Preston and
Tucker Counties of between 6 and 12 inches.  *

*Given this, the North Central West Virginia Skywarn Net will activate in
Standby Mode at 1300 EST (1 PM) on the W6MWA repeater. We will continue
hourly at the top of the hour looking especially for conditions in Preston
and Tucker Counties. Stations in those locations are requested to report
snowfall. However, stations in all locations are welcome to check-in and
let us know that you are monitoring.*

Taco Tuesday is Tuesday at Los Mariachis Restaurant in University Town

My report from Suncrest, Morgantown, WV at 0730 EST was 1.5", light snow

Here are the weather headlines from the NWS Pittsburgh, PA:

National Weather Service

*What To Know:*

night with additional amounts of 3-8? (locally higher in the highest
elevations of Eastern Tucker County). Hourly snowfall rates may peak in the
0.5?-0.75? range this afternoon.

Scattered snow showers continue in the lower elevations with additional
amounts of 1-2?
expected. Slick roads expected during the morning commute

*Today?s Maximum Wind Gust*
Wind gusts are expected to increase into the 25-30 MPH range this afternoon
across most

*Our Skywarn plan going forward is to ask for snowfall and road condition
reports at noon today and again at 1700 EST (5 PM.) If you can do this for
the NWS at those times it would be appreciated.*

So how important are our reports? The NWS Pittsburgh and first responders
have repeatedly expressed their appreciation for our snowfall reports. And
the media has as well, both in Pittsburgh and in Clarksburg. This is a plus
for amateur radio. It's great publicity for us.

Case-in-point, this morning I received a direct message from Scott
Harbaugh. Scott is a well known TV Meteorologist. I am sure that some of us
watch his weather reports on WPXI-TV Pittsburgh. Scott expressed his
personal appreciation for our reports. So the media is noticing and
crediting amateur radio for our Skywarn reports and that is notable!
