Daylight Saving Time Begins This Sunday Morning. Move Your Clock Forward One Hour Before Bed Saturday Night.
Central Virginia Blue Ridge
Hard to believe after all of the snowy weather lately, but warmer days are arriving this weekend into next week. An added bonus, Daylight Saving Time returns. It officially begins at 2AM Sunday morning. The best way to remember it is by setting your clocks ahead one hour, Spring Forward, one hour before heading to be Saturday night.
Enjoy that extra hour of daylight and the warmer temps coming at us this week.
Here’s to long lazy summer days in the not too distant future!
After several inches of new snow Thursday, the morning after was absolutely breathtaking! The clock is ticking on the amount of time Mother Nature has left for ski season, but people heading to Wintergreen Resort this weekend will get the perfect treat. Between 8 and 10″ inches of new snow, and milder temperature over the weekend with plenty of sunshine.
Nellysford
Nelson County, Virginia For the second time in a month a major snowstorm hit the Central Virginia Blue Ridge dumping between 5″ to nearly a foot of snow in the mountains. The event started off as mainly rain Thursday morning, but as colder air worked in during the afternoon, it all turned to snow, making roads hazardous.
Numerous accidents occured across the area with Route 29 near Woods Mills in Nelson County shutdown after a tractor trailer blocked all four lanes. That was just one of dozens reported across the entire Blue Ridge area.

Augusta County, VA
In spite of the cold, cold temps and the everlasting snowpack, we had a great weekend with our friends in Augusta County. BRLM was again the media and co-sponsor of the 2015 Mad Anthony Mud Run. Our publisher Yvette Stafford was back running in the race again this year after several in the past.
After the Mad Anthony in Waynesboro, we headed over to Off The Hook Cafe in Stuarts Draft where Terry was cooking up some fantastic food. We were there alongside the great folks from Rock 98.5 FM out of Harrisonburg. Click on our Facebook album above to see some more of the photos and the yummy grub Yvette had fro lunch after the race!
