Central Virginia Blue Ridge

By Tommy Stafford

As predicted, snow began falling in the higher elevations across the Central Virginia Blue Ridge Sunday morning. Just after daylight reports started pouring into our Facebook page of snow falling at Wintergreen and along the Blue Ridge Parkway from south to north extending across Route 250 into Skyline Drive.

Photo by Alexis & Ricky Bryant : By 9:30 AM Sunday morning most folks in the higher elevations near the BRP had already seen 3-4 inches of snow, with it still falling. This was at Montebello of far SW Nelson County, Virginia. February 22, 2026
Photo By Caroline Mankins : In nearby Greene County, Virginia at 2200 feet, snow had pretty much covered everything by Sunday morning – February 22, 2026

In the lower elevations there was less snow and either a plain cold rain or a rain-snow mix.

You can see lots more of photos from around the area by visiting the thread directly above on our Facebook page. You can click on Robin’s photo above to take you there.

A Winter Storm Warning continues for the higher elevations until Sunday evening. After this bout of winter wether clears the area, temperatures will begin warming for the second part of the coming week with plenty of 60s once again by final day of February and the first of March.

Meanwhile, enjoy your snow day!
