The high mountians of West Virginia are snow covered for the most part most of the winter. The higher elevations, where the ski resorts are located, is where you will find the knee deep snows. The lowland where we live, usually don't get the deep snows. Once every two or three years we get a snow fall of anywhere from six to eight and sometimes as much as twelve inches. Our valley regions average snow fall is about five inches, which usually melts away rather quickly.I have some photos of snow in and around my yard that were, I felt, worthy of snapping.


This photo is taken of my rail fence.
The first rail is about eighteen inches above the ground.


This photo was taken in the same direction as the one above
except I'm standing on my porch while taking it. The snow in the
lower right corner of the pic is on my porch bannister.
Notice the date on the photo is 1-7-96.


This is taken from my porch steps. The car is parked in the front yard.
I think we had some wind with drifting snow during this snow fall.


Here you can see how deep the snow really is. Look on that building roof!!


This tree is in my back yard.

I'm sure any of you who live further north, see this amount of snow as nothing. But maybe you to my far south might enjoy looking at it. Some people get a lot more and some none at all. I'm not sure that I would like not having any at all. Sometimes I hate it, but I'm sure I would miss it if I lived where it never snowed.

Hope you have enjoyed seeing my little bit of snow in my little corner of West Virginia.
