BUCKHANNON — Wednesday’s winter wonderland-like snowfall late that afternoon and into the evening blanketed Buckhannon and Upshur County.

But unfortunately — or fortunately, depending on how big of a fan you are of the white stuff — snow will give way to a wintry mix over the weekend.

At the opposite end of Main Street, City Hall and Buckhannon’s West Virginia Tree is similarly dusted with fast-falling snowflakes.

According to the National Weather Service out of Charleston, there’s a 40 percent chance of snow showers overnight Thursday, which will like transform into a wintry mix by Friday afternoon.

Calm, cloudy skies will prevail later Friday and most of Saturday, although there is a small chance of snow overnight around 3 a.m.

The NWS predicts Sunday will be a mashup of rain and snow until 10 a.m., rain from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. and then cloudy skies with a high of 43.
