Big Stony - Mountain Fork
I have been doing climate research on the High Knob massif, the great landform upon which many of these whitewater runs are listed for in Wise-Scott counties of Virginia, for some 20 years. This is a high precipitation area ( although 2007 has been the driest on record with 40''-46'' so far ) that tends to average 60''-70'' per year amid the mid-upper elevations ( 2500-3000+ feet ) along the Wise-Scott border. The city of Norton has been found to be the wettest town or city in Virginia over the long term, with an annual average during the 1983-2004 period of 57.54'' per year ( and that with some missing data during the winter months prior to 1999 ). Thought you would be interested in this information, since not alot of data is available on this area....
