West Virginia’s climate is very diverse. The state
has five distinct climate regions, namely the Tidewater, Piedmont, Northern
Virginia, Western Mountain, and Southwestern Mountain regions. Several
regions enjoy infrequent subzero temperature, but winters in the northern
Blue Ridge region often face extremely cold temperatures comparable
to those found in Chicago. Annual rainfall totals vary from a mere thirty-three
inches in the Shenandoah Valley to over sixty inches in the mountains
of southwestern part of the state.
