Snowstorm Disrupts Travel in Charles Town and Beyond
Following a winter storm on January 5-6, which dropped about 5 inches of snow, road-clearing efforts in the area faced delays due to various factors, including falling temperatures that refroze cleared roads. Jerry Harder from the West Virginia Division of Highways noted that while the storm was not as severe as the record-setting 27.5 inches in January 2016, the icy conditions complicated travel across local routes, impacting residents and commuters in towns such as Charles Town, Ranson, and Harpers Ferry, as reported by The Spirit of Jefferson.
