Winter Storm in Western Greenbrier, West Virginia

Total snowfall amounts across much western Greenbrier County varied from 5 to 8 inches. Snow began falling around midnight on the 2nd, with accumulating snow tapering off to flurries around noon later that day.

Bands of locally heavy snow occurred across western Greenbrier County in the wake of a strong cold front. A plume of moisture off of Lake Michigan interacted with a combination of strong lift associated with a passing upper level disturbance and orographic lift on the eastern side of the Appalachians, resulting in a brief period of enhanced snowfall rates.
