- I too have no idea....and not that I am all for what the weather channel does
- but this might help to answer your question.

- Due to the way the appalachians are shaped makes it relatively difficult to
- predict the weather patterns. Seven Springs is plopped right in the middle
- of them. It has often been said that you cannot acurately forcast weather
- in this area more than 3 hrs. in advance due to the "hilly" region here.
- I've lived here all my life and the weather patterns are real wierd over
- a very small area. The way it is going here I'd bet the base that the
- "Valley" and "Springs" had is all gone.
