Wintergreen
Nelson County, Virginia

From WPOA:

“The US Army National Guard will be conducting annual helicopter hoist training tomorrow. Between the hours of 9AM and 3PM you may observe two Blackhawk helicopters flying low and slow, hovering, and raising/lowering personnel. There will be two landing zones used. The main zone is located on Beech Grove Road, and the second zone is on Laurel Springs Drive.

Please do not approach the aircraft at any time.

Laurel Springs Drive will experience approximately 12 closures, each lasting approximately 5 minutes. If you need to travel in that area, please allow extra time.

Wintergreen Fire & Rescue personnel will be cooperating throughout the day. If at any point an actual emergency occurs which requires the helicopters to vacate the area, a plan is in place to assure that will happen.

IMPORTANT – Please avoid the Blackrock Plunge trail and the Upper Shamokin Springs trail during the training hours. We will have spotters in place to make certain no hikers wander into a high-hazard area.

Thanks to all in the community for supporting this annual training event.”

VDOT Gearing Up For Winter Ahead

0

 

From VDOT Richmond:

“It may not feel like it now, but winter weather is approaching. To prepare, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is stocking supplies and inspecting equipment to ensure crews and materials are ready for when the first snowflakes fall.

“Virginians count on VDOT to provide a safe and reliable transportation system, and preparation is key to keeping the roads as clear of snow and ice as possible so the public can safely travel on them,” said VDOT Chief of Maintenance and Operations Kevin Gregg. “VDOT is prepared for the season ahead, and we’re urging the public to prepare themselves as well to help make this winter a safe one.”

The agency is responsible for treating and clearing snow from nearly 60,000 miles of state-maintained roads. Preparation for winter is a year-round activity at VDOT. Crews spend time checking equipment and performing test-runs on clear roads to prepare for snowy and icy conditions. They also use snowplow simulators to practice driving through various obstacles to test their ability before facing real-world conditions.

VDOT continues to hire contractors to assist with winter weather response. As with every snow season, the agency begins to recruit contractors as early as June. VDOT also regularly uses internal office staff to support the winter weather process.

Along with staffing and equipment that is prepped and ready for the winter season, the agency stocks materials to treat roads before and during a snow event, which includes more than 625,000 tons of salt, sand and treated abrasive as well as more than 2 million gallons of brine.

PREPARE YOUR VEHICLE

Snow, sleet or ice can cause dangerous road conditions for every driver. Preparing your vehicle is one step you can take before the first winter weather event.

  • When the temperature drops, so does tire inflation pressure, so make sure each tire is filled to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressure. Additionally, if the tires are old, they may need replacing to ensure the treads provide sufficient traction for driving.
  • Check your battery, especially if you’ve had recent issues that required you to jump start it.
  • Check brake lights, headlights, turn signals and emergency flashers.
  • Make sure the windshield wiper fluid reservoir is full and that all windshield wipers work.
  • Prepare an emergency driving kit. It should have items such as flashlight, ice scraper, jumper cables, blankets, first aid kit, bottled water and non-perishable food and abrasive material for traction, such as cat litter or sand.

VDOT’s winter weather page has driving tips and other helpful information.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

During winter, regularly monitor weather forecasts, anticipated travel impacts and road conditions prior to hitting the road. Motorists are encouraged to use VDOT’s free mobile 511 app, visit 511.vdot.virginia.gov or call 511 from any phone in Virginia to get up-to-date information on road and traffic conditions.”

…ELEVATED FIRE DANGER WEDNESDAY FOR EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA,

The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures around 10 percent,
relative humidities around 25 to 30 percent, wind gusts around 20-30
mph, and high temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s will lead to
an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires on Wednesday.
This will be preceded by a night of very poor recoveries, which will
enhance dry conditions across the area, especially in the higher
elevations.

Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette
butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any
equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry
grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could
easily ignite and spread fire quickly.

Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans. For more information about
wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and

Fall Back This Weekend : Daylight Saving Time Ends 2 AM Sunday (Nov 2, 2025)

Central Virginia Blue Ridge

The time has, sadly, come once again. That is if you like those carefree long summer days! I do!!

Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend. It officially ends at 2AM Sunday morning (November 2, 2025). That’s when we return to eastern standard time in this time zone.

But, for those of us that turn in at a reasonable hour, it’s best to set your clock back one hour before heading to bed Saturday night.

Here’s to that perceived extra hour of sleep we lost last spring!

The time changes back again next year on March 8, 2026

These conditions, combined with dry fuels such as fallen leaves
and dead brush, will result in an increased threat of any fires
burning out of control across northwest North Carolina and
portions of the Piedmont and New River Valley regions of Virginia.
Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Please consult your
local burn permitting authorities as to whether burning is allowed
today.
