Even today, Jackie leaves footprints on her way to the cellar house

Jonas just won’t melt into history

It’s been a week since Winter Storm Jonas slapped Marion County with 2 or 3 feet of snow and the temperatures today was in the 60’s, but the snow STILL is on the property of Jackie Olesky Straight, Class of 1955, who lives in a sparsely populated part of Rivesville.

The snow was stacked so high by those who cleared Jackie’s driveway and approach to her front door and garage, for a price, that it hasn’t melted away yet.

Jackie, like most Marion Countians, was trapped in her home for three days, then had to maneuver secondary roads where only one lane had been cleared for automobiles.

I-79, U.S. 19, etc. deservedly were the first priorities. Everyone else had to wait and shovel.

The state got up to 42 inches.

Schools in 52 of West Virginia’s 55 counties were closed for days.

I suspect that Jackie isn't the only West Virginian facing the aftermath of Jonas. Bad snowstorm!
