Note from Jeff:
The Winter Storm Warning has been expanded to cover Eastern Preston County and all of Tucker County. With five to eight inches of snow expected and high wind gusts, we will activate the North Central West Virginia Skywarn Net in Standby Mode on the W8MWA repeater. (145.430 MHz, -600, PL 103.5) Activation time TBD but likely late afternoon to early evening.
I will notify you of net activation via these lists and via the W8MWA repeater. Please monitor the repeater. We will look for snowfall reports from all areas, but will concentrate on stations in Preston and Tucker Counties.
