One car crashed into a gas pump at the S&M Market in Bradshaw around 10:17 p.m. Monday.
At the end of April, most people in Southern West Virginia wouldn't be dusting snow off their vehicles or wearing snow gear to stay warm, but many on Monday were doing just that.
A nor'easter system brought in chilly temperatures and snow showers into the region on late Sunday night into early Monday morning.
Chip Faulk with Greenbrier Nurseries in Beckley has been moving plants and flowers into the greenhouse to help keep them warm from Monday's cold conditions.
Faulk, tells his customers not to worry about the fallen snow because it acts like an insulator for the plants. The concern is when it is cold and clear out at night, then the weather can have the most damage on flowers, trees, and vegetables.
Faulk does suggest bringing plants indoors or covering them to reduce any damage.
"What you really have to look at this time of the year is the later it gets in the season into April and May the more damage a hard freeze can cause," said Faulk.
Faulk adds tomato, cucumbers, and pepper plants need to be covered or brought in when it's cold because those plants are more sensitive to cooler weather.
