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]
