Snowstorm Flattens Virginia and North Carolina Areas
A powerful storm dumped heavy snow across Virginia and surrounding regions, closing several schools and causing dangerous driving. Reports note up to eight inches in parts of West Virginia and Maryland, with temperatures near zero in the mountains and widespread highway hazards. In Cincinnati a bank heist attempt tied to the storm led to a $39,500 haul and a long police chase as snow fell across the Midwest and Northeast.

Robena is a large coal mine owned by U S Steel with three sections Robena No 1 No 2 and No 3 located in Greene County about 80 miles south of Pittsburgh. The mine employs about 1200 people and ships Pittsburgh seam coal via the Monongahela River to the Clairton works for coke production.
