Nelson County, Virginia
Don’t look for today’s winter weather maker to be very impressive, at least not by the standards recently set from other storms here in Nelson during the past several weeks! This clipper system could drop anywhere from 1-3″ of a snow rain mix over Nelson by tonight, but that would be on the high end. The energy with this storm will be heading toward New England and not here in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Nelson County Public Schools (VA) will be closed today, Monday, February 15, 2010 due to icy roadway and impending additional snowfall.

Timing and temperatures will be key with this snowfall, we may start as snow, change to a mix later in the day, only to change back to a snow near dark. That could create some driving problems, so be sure to keep up with the weather throughout the day just to be sure.

A Winter Weather Advisory was issued this morning for Nelson. Other adjoining counties such as Amherst and Rockbridge have advisories in effect.

More updates later today as needed.

Lovingston
Nelson County, Virginia
345 days ago, March 6, 2009 to be specific, Matthew McDaniel and his black horse, Hampton set off across the U.S. from Salem, Oregon headed to Washington D.C. “I work human rights in Northern Thailand. In 2003 the queen of Thailand took about 15,000 acres of rice land from the Akha Hill Tribe. I first road Hampton to the Thai consult in L.A. and then I told them I would see them in D.C., then we are headed up to the Thai Mission in the UN in New York from there,” Matthew told NCL while taking a break from his ride Saturday afternoon at The Chicken Coop just off Route 29 in Lovingston. Matthew’s cause is called Ride For Freedom.

Matthew and Hampton head back to Route 29 Saturday afternoon to continue their journey to Washington D.C. to the Thai embassy.

Once in D.C. in a the next few weeks, Matthew will picket there to bring attention to the atrocities taking place in Northern Thailand to the Akha Hill Tribe. Matthew works to protect the human rights of the Akha people in Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, China and Vietnam. He has a website setup to inform people about what’s taking place there. You can learn more by going here: www.akha.org

Wintergreen
Nelson County, VA

From The Wintergreen Nature Foundation:

“Due to the last month’s snow The Jefferson Years was rescheduled for February 13th. This is a must see folks!

Anti Federalist Jefferson’s presidency ended three years of Federalist rule under Washington and Adams. A Federalist majority in Congress during his first term however made for complications involving issues of Revolutionary War debt, a tenuous relationship with England, and French disruption of trade thru the Port of New Orleans. The birth of the two-party system, issues of Constitution versus commerce over the Louisiana Purchase, and International intrigue made for a volatile political atmosphere both locally and nationally. At the Nelson County High School Auditorium. $20 members, $25 nonmembers. Both performances: $30 members, $35 nonmenbers.

See you there!
