Nelson County, Virginia

Most folks in the lowlands down below just saw a cold rain on Tuesday. But if you were in the higher elevations there was plenty of ice. Those living along and near the BRP and Skyline Drive saw more than their share.

Most of the freezing precip comes to an end after midnight on Tuesday, but gusty winds will be a problem on Wednesday. We get a brief warm up and break from the wet weather for the next couple of days before more rain and possibly a wintry mix returns by the weekend.
