About 16.9 inches a winter at a NOAA weather station 2.4 miles away, averaged over 10 winters. Between December 1 and March 31 that brings 2 weekday mornings a year with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 0.6 with 4 inches or more.

The odds of a closing or a delay on the next three school mornings in Lewis, measured against Lewis's own big snow morning of 3 inches.

The West Virginia rule

How West Virginia counts a lost day

West Virginia requires at least 900 instructional hours a year, with each county setting the length of its days. The State Superintendent may lower the minimum in a county under a federal disaster declaration or a Governor's emergency declaration tied to the lost hours.
