USA - West Virginia: latest snow conditions round-up

USA Most US ski areas are open now meaning around half the world's total of already-open areas, an estimated 500 or more resorts, are in the US. The good news is that after a largely dry November (following a snowy October in the Rockies) it has been dumping down in most areas; good timing for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend just passed. And nowhere has been snowier than California where ski areas were forced to close at times due to the volume of snow.

This follows a very dry autumn up to a week or so ago. Kirkwood (142/152cm) has reported one of the biggest 7-day totals with 142cm (nearly 5ft) of snow, with Bear Valley (142/142cm) not far behind with 116cm (nearly 4ft) of fresh. Many other areas in the state have reported 60-90cm (2-3ft) of fresh snow. It's been snowy across most of the rest of the country too, from coast to coast. Healthy 30-60cm falls almost everywhere.
