I realize there are some newcomers to the valley experience, so I'm giving a heads-up. If anyone drives up to Canaan Valley on Wednesday from DC area, I'd recommend the Seneca Rocks route. If you take 93, better know the road and know what your doing.
Left DC later than I wanted to (7 PM), but fortunately no worries until Knobley Road or so. After that, real rough visibility (and roads are a bit slick with the initial wet snow/maybe rain.) Hit a fog patch at the top of the climb, could barely make out the road reflectors. After that, serious snow blowing into my headlights, making visibility very rough. Plus my wipers started to ice up a bit.
Visibility *should* be a bit better tomorrow (maybe not), but I'll bet there will be some serious drifts across the road. 93 is very exposed.

There was a sign at the top of the Canaan ski area that said..."Warning..Powder on the natural trails can be very addictive!"
Another sign at Johnny rebs work...."Help wanted!"

Had to make a two day appearance at the office - lots of stuff happening. Off the rest of the week.
