Annual Christmas Tree Lighting @ Stoney Creek
Nellysford, Virginia
The first light snow of the season for the valley is history and sunny skies will be moving in today. In the picture above folks gathered last night for the annual Christmas Tree lighting at Stoney Creek in Nellysford. In addition to the tree lighting, there was caroling and Santa Clause dropped by for a visit. Though there wasn’t a lot of snow, there was just enough flying around in the air to make it feel like Christmas. You can see more of last night’s pictures at the tree lighting by clicking here. Speaking of snow Wintergreen Resort opens for ski season this coming Saturday December 8th. They’ve been making snow all week and it looks like they are about to make it official!
Don’t be looking for snow over the next several days as we’ll see much warmer temperatures by the end of the weekend into early next week. Rain enters the forecast by Monday, though we may see a few sprinkles or flurries late Thursday night into Friday morning, but nothing more.
