Nelson County, Virginia
Though there’s plenty of hot weather left, the unofficial end to Summer has arrived. Labor Day 2010 is done and most people are back at work today after taking the boats out of the water and at least thinking about getting ready to close the pool. People all across Nelson County had a fantastic weekend of celebration with perfect warm days and chilly, pre-fall, nights. Don’t worry if you love summer weather, there’s still plenty of heat in the forecast, we’ll be back in the 90’s as early as Tuesday.
Several more weeks of warm and Fall weather activities will be taking place, but it won’t be much longer that we’re talking ski season!
Enjoy the warm days ahead while we still have them!
