   National forecasts I'm seeing here are talking about one to two FEET   
   of snow on the higher hills in Western Virginia.

   I know it's already started raining, but how wet is the soil?  Have   
   you had that much rain in the previous 10-20 days?

   My sister is about 45 miles/72 km ESE of Adam, and around midnight   
   Eastern time (10/29/04:00 UTC) was reporting strong winds (est. 40   
   mph/18 m/s) out of the East and some rain.   I could see her backups   
   server this morning (14:00 UTC), but not now.   
      
   Good Luck, and keep us posted
