The StormWatch 4 weather team made the trip up the mountain to see the first accumulation of the season!
We measured 1 inch of snow at the summit of the Mountain Scenic Highway in Pocahontas County.
Below are the statistics on the earliest, latest and average dates for the first inch of snow at nearby Snowshoe Mountain.
Although NOT a record-breaking snowstorm, how do previous record snowy Octobers at Snowshoe stack up to the following winters for snow accumulation?
The answer: a very snowy October tends to yield a snowy upcoming winter.
Unfortunately, this will be the last snow of the month given a major pattern shift to warmer temperatures.
