A week from next Monday it will have been a month since heavy snow fell across Nelson County, Virginia. And, snow from that stom is still on the ground and on roofs across the area. If mother nature has her way, more light snow will add to that overnight tonight. Winter Weather Advisories have already been posted cancelled in Amherst and counties south and west of the BRP.
A developing winter storm system is headed toward Nelson and Central Virginia that promises some snowfall, perhaps beginning late this afternoon, and overnight tonight. This storm does not appear to be a major system for our area, only an inch or so of or less of snow should be the rule. However, extremely cold temps will move in again this weekend before moderating temps drop over Virginia by Wednesday of next week.
TITLE SAYS IT ALL! DID YOU KNOW THAT THE NELSON COUNTY HIGH FFA HAD A TEAM PLACE # 6 IN ONE CATEGORY, NATIONALLY. aND THAT TWO OF THE TEAM MEMBERS LIVE IN THE AFTON AREA. bUT MORE SIGNIFICANT IS THAT ONE OF THE TEAM MEMBERS PLACED # 1 NATIONALLY FOR INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE. THE CONVENTION WAS IN OCT 09, BUT THERE HAS BEEN VIRTUALLY NO MENTION IN AREA MEDIA, WHICH I WOULD VIEW AS AN EMBRASSMENT.

Lovingston
Nelson County, Virginia
A grieving Nelson family was shocked to find that a donation jar they placed in a local store to help raise money for a friend’s final burial expenses had been stolen. “A donation jar was placed at Nelson Food Mart in Lovingston to raise money for a deceased friend who was cremated. On January 2nd a white male walked into the Food Mart, and said he was collecting the jar to deliver it to the appropriate person. On Monday January 4th the mother and daughter went to the store to collect the donation jar and discovered it had been taken,” Nelson County Sheriff, David Brooks, tells NCL.
Sheriff Brooks went on to say the store clerk told the mother and daughter that the jar had been picked up by Bill Packard, age 49 of Schuyler, Virginia.
Sheriff Brooks says Packard was arrested on Tuesday – January 5th and is being held with no bond, charged with larceny.
An initial court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday – January 6th.

Basically weather has been the headline since last month’s record snowfall here in Nelson. If it hasn’t been the snow, it’s been the extremely cold temperatures. The cold temps, though moderating a bit on Wednesday, are here to stay for at least the next week. A reinforcing shot of cold air will arrive by Friday into the weekend, keeping daytime temps below freezing all across the area.
The focus now is on the potential for more snowfall later this week, perhaps beginning as light snow in the late afternoon on Thursday. AccuWeather.com talks about the potential here, and what areas will most likely be affected the most. Winter Storm Watches are already in effect for areas way to our west in the mid-south 700 or so miles out.
It’s a bit early to be talking about exact amounts, but it does appear this will be an accumulating snow, just how much remains to be seen until we are closer to the storm’s arrival. Though, this does not look to be a major snow maker for Central Virginia, certainly not in comparison to what we just went through.
Relay For Life of Nelson will announce Honorary Chair and Honorary Caregiver Chair at its monthly meeting. The folks were nominated by their friends and loved ones in the community.
