Izzy delivers second January winter storm

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Many West Virginians watched it stay just warm enough to keep it from snowing Sunday afternoon but by Sunday night what was known as Winter Storm Izzy had covered the Mountain State.

It was all snow earlier in the day in some southern counties, up through the eastern mountains and into the Eastern Panhandle. It was sticking in the Morgantown area by 5 p.m. and in the Charleston-Huntington corridor by 6:30 p.m.

A winter storm warning from the National Weather Service will remain in effect for the entire state well into Monday.

NWS meteorologists said most all parts of the state will end up with at least 4 inches of accumulation but it would be northwestern counties and the eastern mountains that would receive the highest amounts.

The storm comes just before Monday’s MLK Holiday which will result in a lot less traffic on the state’s roadways. The holiday is a day off for local, county, state and federal workers. School districts will also be closed Monday.

The storm is the second one in the first 15 days of January. The first dumped double digit accumulations in many areas.
