With temps hovering in the upper 20s to around 30 degrees, rain has been freezing on contact with some surfaces. While roads haven't been a problem overall, shrubs, decks, and cars have picked some ice accumulation.

Wintergreen
Nelson County, Virginia
As expected a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain has been falling most of the morning in the higher elevations along the Blue Ridge Parkway and places like Wintergreen.
With temps hovering in the upper 20s to around 30 degrees, rain has been freezing on contact with some surfaces. While roads haven’t been a problem overall, shrubs, decks, and cars have picked some ice accumulation.
In the lower elevations temps have been high enough to just have a plain old cold rain. Up above people along the parkway and Skyline Drive will continue seeing a mixture of skeet and freezing rain this afternoon.
The rain ends tonight and sunny skies return Wednesday.
