Storm Juno

[CharlesHarris]

We haven't had a great amount of snow this year, 22cm since the start of the New Year, which is normal. February has been cold, so the snow has persisted, we last saw the ground about a month ago. It didn't really turn cold until then, which is also normal. The high temperature expected today is -2C with more snow expected tonight, with a warming trend Sunday changing to sleet mixed with rain. Our elevation in the Back Creek Valley of Glengary, WV (postcode 25421) is 352m AMSL, on he west slope below Great North Mountain, just inside the Berkeley County line from Morgan County.

If you are familiar with the flight path into the Eastern WV Regional Airport, tracking inbound from the west on the Martinburg VOR takes you right over the house. On drill weekends we enjoy the "Sounds of Freedom" from the C17 transport aircraft of the 167th AW and can hear small arms fire from Peacemaker National Training Center which is nearby.
