| West Virginia experiences four distinct seasons. In the low-lying
areas and valleys, including the western regions of the state
and the Eastern Panhandle, winters are mild and summers are
warm. In the central, more mountainous areas of the state, particularly
the Potomac Highlands, winters are colder, with a greater probability
of snow, and summers are mild.
Precipitation across the state averages 40 to 60 inches per
year; roughly 25 of the days in an average year show noticeable
precipitation. Snowfall averages 20 to 25 inches per year
in most of the state, except for the Potomac Highlands region,
which receives significantly more.
