Superstorm Sandy buried parts of West Virginia under more than a foot of snow on Tuesday, cutting power to at least 265,000 customers and closing dozens of roads, according to the Charleston Gazette.
The storm not only hit higher elevations hard as predicted, communities in lower elevations got much more than the dusting of snow forecasters had first thought from a dangerous system that also brought significant rainfall, high wind gusts and small-stream flooding.
