Central Virginia Blue Ridge
Nelson County, Virginia
As expected, the first legitimate snow of the coming winter season began falling during the early morning hours Friday. Accumulations were a touch higher than anticipated. Not a terrible snow to travel in, but enough to make it challenging and cause a few accidents across the area. Most people are reporting between 3 to 4 inches of snow with locally higher amounts especially in the mountains.
Ironically the first snow for the season fell on the exact day Wintergreen Resort opens for the 2025-2026 ski and boarding season.
Most schools across the area closed and even some universities closed or modified their schedules.
Though it feels like winter with all of the snow, winter doesn’t officially begin by the calendar for several more days. It officially starts on December 21st at 10:03 AM.
