The National Weather Service reports a foot or more of snow in lower elevations of West Virginia, while some mountain areas are getting more than two feet. A blizzard warning for more than a dozen counties is in effect until tomorrow afternoon.

Authorities closed nearly 50 miles of Interstate 68 on either side of the West Virginia-Maryland state line for hours early today because of blizzard conditions and stuck vehicles.
