Christmas time at The Blue Ridge Pig
Nellysford, Virginia

Strawberry has pulled out all of the stops and dressed up the pig on the roof for Christmas! The famous pig has a nice garland accenting his neck for that yuletide feeling! It’s always nice to see the landscape changing for Christmas and see how everyone decorates. That’s what makes Nelson so special! We had a smoked turkey croissant at Strawberry’s earlier this week! Great place and we love the crew there!

Today will be a milder day than Wednesday across Nelson and Central Virginia with most locations below 2000 feet making it into the 60’s for afternoon highs. It will be a breezy day with sometimes gusty SW winds, shifting W by late afternoon. Some areas saw very light sprinkles overnight as a system makes it’s way toward Virginia. By early evening the cold front should be east of the area allowing cooler temps to work in. By the weekend we could see some rain / snow showers in the area late Saturday night into Sunday morning as another system works toward Central Virginia. Temperatures will be pretty seasonal until we reach early next week when we start the trip back into the freezer.
