Quick Hit Of Wintry Weather Up Top Sunday Night
Photo By John Taylor : Anywhere between 1 to 2″ of snow, sleet and ice fell Sunday night in the highest of elevations of the mountains in Nelson County, Virginia. This photo was shot Monday morning on Devils Knob at Wintergreen Resort around 3500 feet. – February 13, 2023

Devils Knob – 3500′
Wintergreen Resort
Nelson County, Virginia

Though the weekend winter storm was predicted to be significant in Southwest Virginia, it didn’t do much around here. But on the mountain at Wintergreen Resort between one and two inches of sleet, snow and freezing rain fell from the gatehouse up to the resort. At one point Route 664 in Beech Grove was shut down below the gatehouse up to Reeds Gap at the Blue Ridge Parkway. Numerous accidents happened causing crews to shut the road down until highway crews could get it cleared.

Photo courtesy of Derek Kidd : Though the snow wasn’t very deep, it was very slick near the Wintergreen Gatehouse and points up above. This was around 10:30 PM Sunday night. From the gatehouse up to the Blue Ridge Parkway on 664 was very hazardous.

If snow isn’t your thing, and warmer temps re, you are in luck. Signs of spring are on the way later this week with much warmer temps around 70°!

Signs Of Spring Ahead
Photo By Tommy Stafford : The calendar says it’s still winter but don’t tell these daffodils that. This is near the highway in front of Wintergreen Hardware in Nellysford, Virginia. Friday – February 10, 2023

Nellysford
Nelson County, Virginia

It’s not officially spring on the calendar until March 20th. But, there are some subtle signs of spring creeping out now, in spite of some snow up at Wintergreen Sunday night.

There daffodils were in full bloom late last week in front of Wintergreen Hardware near Route 151 in Nellysford. Friday – February 10, 2023

Meteorological Spring begins on March 1st, several days before the actual calendar marks the start.

There will be plenty of ups and down over the next several weeks, even more snow is possible, but winter is on borrowed time pretty soon and it was nice to see some colorful signs that spring isn’t too far away.

The coming week will certainly feel like spring.

Check out the forecast above!

Enjoy and have a great week!

STORM WILL BRING WINTRY MIX FOR THE WEEKEND

Monitor weather, consider evening travel around Super Bowl festivities

CULPEPER — Football fans should keep an eye on weather channels along with their sports feeds as they plan their Super Bowl festivities. A winter storm is forecast to dump a wintry mix on Virginia on Sunday and, while it may not set any records, the mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow may make travel hazardous through Monday morning across Piedmont Virginia.

Crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation are monitoring the storm and will be on duty overnight Saturday as the storm begins. They will continue working on Sunday to treat roads and respond to any reports of refreezing Sunday night and early Monday morning.

Ice is likely to form first in areas where pavement temperatures are lowest. These spots include bridges, overpasses, and ramps and at elevations such as the mountain passes on Interstate 64 and U.S. 250 in Albemarle County, U.S. 33 at Swift Run Gap in Greene County, U.S. 211 at Thornton Gap and U.S. 522 at Chester Gap in Rappahannock County.

Drivers should closely monitor weather reports and road conditions during the day on Sunday when planning evening activities. Road conditions may deteriorate quickly as temperatures fall near freezing overnight Sunday and early Monday morning. Prior to travel, motorists should visit 511virginia.org, call 511 or check the 511 Virginia mobile app for up-to-date information on road and traffic conditions.

Since the storm is forecast to begin as rain in the Culpeper District on Sunday brine was not used for this event. The rain would wash it off the roads, rendering it ineffective.

Safety and Travel Resources

When winter weather arrives, residents and motorists should plan travel ahead of time, check road conditions, prepare an emergency car kit, follow forecasts and announcements and limit travel based on conditions.

Local updates about conditions in VDOT’s Culpeper District are posted to Twitter.com/VaDOTCulp.Visit VDOT’s winter weather page for more information about winter weather preparations and response.

For questions or to report hazardous road conditions, the public should contact VDOT’s 24-hour Customer Service Center by visiting my.vdot.virginia.gov or calling 800-FOR-ROAD (367-7623).

A TRICKY FEBRUARY FORECAST CAN MEAN TRICKY ROADS IN THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY

STAUNTON – (1:45 p.m.) Some rain, some snow and possibly some sleet may fall in the Shenandoah Valley and Alleghany Highlands on Sunday, February 12 into Monday, February 13. Motorist should be alert for rain, possibly mixing with snow during the daytime hours on Sunday. Precipitation is forecasted for part of Sunday night bringing additional chances for light rain, snow or sleet. Travelers in higher elevations are more likely to see accumulating snow. As temperatures drop towards dawn on Monday morning, refreezing may occur on area roadways.

The Virginia Department of Transportation Staunton District will have crews out beginning at midnight tonight. With recent warm temperatures the road surface is expected to remain above freezing for much of this weather event. No brine has been applied in advance of the storm, but roads will be treated as needed. Motorists may experience some wet to slushy conditions in untreated areas depending on precipitation type and amount. Elevated surfaces such as bridges and overpasses freeze first.

Travelers are advised to check weather forecasts along their trip route and use 511Virginia.org for updated road conditions. Conditions may vary across the state with high winds forecasted near the coast.

Seatbelts save lives. Remember to buckle-up when traveling.

Road conditions and traffic cameras can be found on the VDOT 511 website athttp://www.511Virginia.org, Roads with snow conditions will be marked minor, moderate, severe or closed.

Road condition definitions:

Closed – Road is closed to all traffic.

Severe – drifting or partially blocked road.

Moderate – snow or ice on major portions of the roadway.

Minor – bare pavement except for isolated spots of snow, ice or slush. Driving with caution is recommended.

Margaritas Celebrates 9 Year Anniversary In Nellysford
Gibran Carnevali (known as G to the locals) is all smiles as he was getting ready to celebrate 9 years of operation at Margaritas Restaurant in Nellysford. Sunday – February 5, 2023

Nellysford
Nelson County, Virginia

Nine years ago right around the super bowl in 2014 Gibran Carnevali and his business partners opened the doors of Margaritas Restaurant in Nellysford. This past weekend they had an informal celebration to mark 1 year shy of a decade.


Above some of the faces from a few years ago. Many still work at the restaurant either full or part-time to this day.

Congrats G and the entire gang! Here to another year to make it an even 10 next year!
