Let me start by quoting Jeff Craven of the NWS - Pittsburgh. He said: "Morning everyone. Quite a storm!"

It was indeed! And thanks again to everyone who participated in the Skywarn Net yesterday. Again, we had a record number (28) of individual check-ins yesterday on our net. Well done!

We received additional snowfall overnight, so we activated the North Central West Virginia Skywarn Net in Standby Mode this morning at 07:00 EST. It is running on the W8MWA two meter repeater (145.430 MHz, PL 103.5, -600 offset.) We are taking your updated or new snowfall and weather and road condition reports at the following times this morning:

08:00 EST

09:00 EST

10:00 EST

After the 10:00 EST reports we will likely secure the net.

As for our weather today, the cold temperatures are expected to remain over North Central West Virginia through at least the beginning of February.

An Extreme Cold Warning has been issued for Monday night into Tuesday morning. Wind chills are expected to reach -25 degrees in some spots. In addition, snow squalls will be possible Monday afternoon.
