Frozen Run (West Virginia)
Frozen Run is a stream in the U.S. state of West Virginia.[1]
Frozen Run was named for an incident when an early settler nearly froze while sleeping near the stream until he wrapped himself in a recently killed buffalo's skin. The next morning, he had to be thawed out of it.[2][3]
