Nellysford
Nelson County, Virginia

Last summer on June 16, 2016 we told you about confirmation of Dollar General looking at the possibility of locating on the the vacant lot in Nellysford between Wells Fargo Bank and UVA Community Credit Union.

Dollar General did confirm to BRL they were looking at the property.

“We are currently in the due diligence phase for a new location on Rockfish Valley Highway in Nellysford, which means we’re interested in adding a new location to Nelson County, but have not committed to doing so yet. Based on our current timeline, I anticipate a final decision will not be made on this project until late winter 2017. Feel free to check back periodically for additional details,”

June 16, 2016 – Nolan Miles | Internal/External Communications Coordinator with DG told us last summer.

This past week we noticed a track hoe was present and had cleared some brush on the property. We contacted Dollar General’s corporate headquarters on Thursday afternoon to see if any decision had been made.

“We are still in a due diligence phase for a new store on Rockfish Valley Highway in Nellysford. Based on our current timeline, I anticipate a final decision for the project is expected by early spring.No, we still haven’t made a definite decision on the store yet,”

March 2, 2017 – Crystal Ghassemi with Dollar General’s Corporate Communications in Goodlettsville, Tennessee told us.

We’ll keep you posted.

Numerous widespread outages were also reported by CVEC.

Another less intense and broken line is expected to move through the Blue Ridge late in the day before much colder air works in behind a cold front. It will continue to be very windy through Wednesday night behind that cold front.

A WIND ADVISORY is in effect for the mountaintops along the BRP

We’re back in the lower 60’s by Monday and near 70° by next Tuesday.

Significant Severe Weather Possible This Afternoon

Significant Severe Weather Possible This Afternoon
The current severe weather outlook for the area from the Storm Prediction Center in Oklahoma.

Central Virginia Blue Ridge

As I discussed in my weather forecast, the potential for damaging storms is in the forecast for this afternoon.

Overnight to our west lots of damage, death and destruction occurred as tornadoes and severe thunderstorms moved through the mid-south and portions of Southern Missouri, Kentucky and Illinois.


Above some of the powerline damage back in my home county in NW-TN.

As the afternoon progresses the airmass over the Central Virginia Blue Ridge region will become very unstable and favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms and perhaps isolated tornadoes as well.

I’ll be monitoring the situation all day into this evening and will do updates as necessary. All of the alerts for ou area are available on our site here under VA Area Weather Alerts Or you can see real time alerts as they post also on our Facebook page and on our Twitter Feed too.

My colleagues over at CBS-19 The Newsplex will be on it certainly.

This doesn’t mean everyone is going to get major severe weather, but the potential is higher today that it’s been in awhile that some folks across the region will see damaging storms.

Keep an eye to the sky and your NOAA weather radio or other notifications handy.

Marcie’s Travels & Celebrating A Dozen Years

Afton
Nelson County, Virginia

As we’ve been talking about in most of our recent posts, Blue Ridge Life Magazine turns a dozen years old this year on April 1st.

We atarted off ...
We started off back on April 1, 2005 as Nelson County Life Magazine right here in Nelson County. We are still in Nelson 12 years later. Click on the above photo to talk a walk down memory lane and see some of our original Nelson County Life Magazine issues.

Though we cover a broader area, this is our home. We’ve lived here since the beginning. This isn’t a fad for us. We are a part of you and you a part of us!

As we celebrate this year, and there will be many, our photographer / writer extraordinaire, Marcie Gates, is out highlighting many things new and old that make Nelson and the Blue Ridge so great.

If you have a neat photo where Marcie can pop by and take a shot with her, let her know, we’d love to feature it here and all across our social media platforms.

We’ve got an awfully big announcement coming in just a few weeks, so stay tuned for that as well!

Central Virginia Blue Ridge

Early in the afternoon Saturday some brief but pretty potent thunderstorms moved through the Central Virginia Blue Ridge area. Some of those storms prompted Severe Thunderstorm Warnings.

Our other stations, our flagship BRL-Trager Brothers Station at RVCC picked up right at 1/3″ of rain while our BRL-mountain station up at The Nature Foundation At Wintergreen picked up only .04″ of rain.

As the storms marched north and east, some damage was reported near the Eastern Shore and Maryland.

Look for a return to winter like temps overnight Saturday and Sunday before we get mild again next week!

Nelson : Wild Wolf Named Virginia Green Brewery Of The Year For Second Year In A Row

Screen Shot 2017-02-23 at 8.31.06 AM

Nellysford
Nelson County, Virginia

Wild Wolf Brewing Company announced they were presented the Virginia Green Travel Alliance’s Travel Star Award for Green Brewery of the Year, February 17th, at their annual conference. The Virginia Green Travel Alliance, an organization that connects the public with green businesses in the tourism industry, presents outstanding members with annual Travel Star Awards across ten business categories.

“We are proud to be Virginia Green’s Brewery of the Year,” says owner, Mary Wolf. “Environmental consciousness is a primary goal of our business mission statement. Our comprehensive environmental program encompasses every aspect of our business; from our offices, to our brew house, to our restaurant. We take environmental consciousness seriously and continue to build upon our processes every day.”

Recycling, composting, as well as water and energy conservation are among Wild Wolf Brewing Company’s many focal areas throughout the business. In the brewery cans are utilized for packaging rather than bottles, due to the fact that cans are made from 90% recycled materials, weigh less than bottles – thus saving fuel, and also require less cardboard packaging material.

The spent grain from the brewing process becomes cattle feed at a local beef farm which then become delicious Wild Wolf burgers. Local ingredients, including this local beef, are a key feature of the restaurant’s sustainability plan, which also involves energy efficient kitchen appliances and equipment, low flow faucets, and strict limitations on the use of disposable products.

“Our environmental policy shapes every aspect of our brewery and restaurant, as well as our plans for the future,” says Wolf.

The list of ways Wild Wolf Brewing Company is working hard to bring you high quality products while keeping the impact on the environment to a minimum, goes on and on, so why don’t you check them out today!

About Wild Wolf Brewing Company

Wild Wolf Brewing Company was founded in 2011 by Mary Wolf. Her son, Brew Master Danny Wolf, and his team sustainably brew fresh, award-winning craft beers in a variety of styles. Look for six packs of cans and draught offerings throughout Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. The brewery and restaurant, located in Nelson County, VA, on the scenic State Rt. 151, is open seven days a week for pints, lunch, and dinner. The expansive grounds enclose a shaded dog-friendly biergarten, koi ponds, and mountain views. Wild Wolf Brewing Company also offers a fully equipped Event Center for special occasions.

Wintergreen / Lovingston

As BRL first reported earlier this week, a shooting occurred at Wintergreen Sunday night. Along with combined coverage from our media partners over at CBS-19 we’ve continued to follow the story. The man accused of shooting a woman over the weekend appeared in court for the first time Tuesday morning.

Seventy-seven-year-old Aasgeir Korsnes appeared in Nelson County General District Court via video link from the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.

You can watch the story above from CBS-19.

Meanwhile, the victim in the shooting, Jessica Dunn, continues her recovery in a hospital. One of her friends from Nelson County, Misti Dawn Hall, has started a Go Fund Me account to help her out.
