Soil conditions, frost risk and crop weather for Kermit.
Kermit lies cradled within the deep folds of Mingo County, where the hills rise steeply, their flanks a tapestry of green in summer and fiery hues come autumn. It lies 39.8 miles south of Huntington, WV (from Huntington, WV: bearing 177°T), and is situated 7.2 miles east-south-east of Inez. The air here, especially after a rain, carries the damp, earthy scent of the forest floor, a constant reminder of the surrounding wilderness. Roads wind like ribbons thrown carelessly across the terrain, following the contours of valleys and climbing towards ridges that offer glimpses of a sky often softened by a haze of moisture. The Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River, a vital artery, flows with a steady, unhurried current, its banks fringed with trees that lean in as if to whisper secrets to the water. The story of Kermit is inextricably bound to the extraction of coal, a history etched into the very landscape through the abandoned mines and the enduring spirit of its people. For generations, this industry shaped the economy, drawing families to its rugged embrace and forging a resilient, close-knit community. While the boom times may have passed, the echoes of that era remain, a quiet testament to the hard work and determination that built Kermit. Today, the focus shifts, with a growing appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds the settlement, offering a different kind of wealth in its clean air and the quietude of its mountain setting.
