Within the National Weather Service-Blacksburg office's forecast area that includes much of Southwest and Southside Virginia plus a few counties in southeast West Virginia and northwest North Carolina, Quinwood, W.Va., in western Greenbrier County is the typical winner in an upslope snow event. This time was no different coming in with 15 inches of snow from the intermittent snow showers and squalls that were squeezed out as northwest winds climbed the mountains the last couple of days. Below, in the extended entry, is a National Weather Service list recapping snowfall amounts from the snows of the last couple of days. In the Roanoke Valley, we just got a trace on a few snow showers Wednesday.
