If they weren't measuring the drifts to make it sound better then they beat Quinwood! Snowshoe's Website says that they have gotten 30 inches of natural snow since last Saturday.

Or Quinwood!!

I've heard Highland County, VA wins for most snow but can not find any records on how much snow Highland county gets? Thank You Austin Hey Kevin,

I think it would be very interesting if you could list the snowiest county in Virginia and West Virginia. I've heard Highland County, VA wins for most snow but can not find any records on how much snow Highland county gets?

Thank You

Austin

I have been on location in Quinwood, West Virginia, where as of 3:30 p.m. there is 14 inches of snow. I will have some photos up, and a list of snowfall reports from around the area, in a little bit.

Everywhere from Pulaski County to Blacksburg that I saw had a solid coating of snow with snow-covered side roads. It made for a tricky start to the commute, but sure was beautiful to see. Hopefully, it's a sign of things to come. I was surprised to see in the snow total reports that everywhere west of the Blue Ridge pretty much had an inch or more.
