October 4, 2011 – WEST VRGINA – Mother Nature just didn’t want to quit this weekend, as a late surge in an early season snow storm dropped an additional 4 inches of snow on Snowshoe Mountain Resort on Sunday evening. Snow began late Friday evening, marking Sept. 30 as the official first day of snow, the earliest snowfall in six seasons at the Pocahontas County resort. Saturday’s accumulation topped 4 inches and Sunday saw on and off snow, leaving another inch on the ground before heavy snow began falling around 8 p.m., bringing the weekend total to 9 inches of natural snow. The last time Snowshoe saw snow in September was 2006. Snowshoe averages 180 inches of snowfall annually, but as recently as the 2009-2010 season saw more than 230 inches of natural snow. –Charleston Daily Mail
