Don’t let the fire go out, and don’t even think of putting up the heavy coats for a long time. After several days of temps never reaching the freezing mark for day time highs, another reinforcing round of cold weather is on the way arriving by the weekend. Accu Weather talks about the advancing cold weather here.
There is also a chance for some snow overnight Thursday into Friday morning. Exactly how much is still unknown, but some light accumulating snow seems reasonable with this next system arriving near the end of the week. More discussion here, again from Accu Weather. It appears the precipitation energy with this next system will go to our north, but any change in the course could give us more – than less snow. Stay tuned.

The terribly cold weather and gusty winds continued overnight Sunday into this morning. Temps fell back into the teens and single digits overnight with winds howling at 30+ MPH at times producing wind chills well below 0°.
Nelson County Public Schools (VA) will be operating on a one hour delayed schedule on Monday, January 4, 2010 due to weather conditions.
Not much relief is in sight for the remainder of the week. Temps will slightly moderate in the lower elevations mid-week (mid 30’s) but drop back into the 20’s for daytime highs by next weekend. There is a chance for snow in the forecast by Thursday night into Friday.
Come sit a spell and meet old friends and new at the locals breakfast hour. Wednesdays 8:30-10:00am. Free large cup of our great brewed coffee with a breakfast or a free refill with a coffee purchase.
What a great way to pass some time in our warm and cozy depot.

You don’t need us telling you how brutal the cold weather has become for the first weekend of the new year. It’s just plain cold. Very! And unfortunately there is no real relief in sight for the next week. Daytime highs in the mountains will never crack freezing and probably won’t inch slightly above freezing in the valley portions of Nelson until mid-week at the earliest. Overnight lows Saturday night into Sunday morning were around 0° on the mountain at our NCL-Wintergreen Nature Foundation Station on Devils Knob. In the valley temps fell to the mid-teens as shown on our NCL-Rockfish Valley Station in Greenfield. Out at Montebello temps fell to at least 5° overnight. Combine the very cold temps with the howling winds as gusty as 35-40 MPH at times and you are talking wind chills in the -10° to -15° range. Brutal.
Various wind and wind chill advisories remain in effect for Sunday due to the high winds combined with the extremely cold temps.
To make matters worse, many folks living up on the mountain at Wintergreen reported low water, or no water, late Saturday. A memo went out to homeowners there to conserve water usage and not use any water unless absolutely necessary. The email went on to say:
Wintergreen is at historic low levels of potable water and will be for the next 24 hours-(best estimate)
Please take the following actions.
1.Conserve water in every possible way–do not use your dishwasher or any other large water using appliance.
2. Do not use your fireplace–a fire would create an even greater crisis due to large water need.
Do not blame the snowmaking–the water source for that is completely separate. Actually, they are feeding water to the potable water system
Wintergreen Resort also had this message up on their slope report early Sunday morning:
Nelson County Service Authority, the municipal utility which provides water to the Wintergreen Mountain Community, has advised us of a very temporary but serious shortage of drinking water. This is a situation affecting all property owners on the mountain, and guests of the Resort. Because of this challenge, guests should expect limited food and beverage operations and limited restroom facilities. If visiting Wintergreen today, please plan accordingly. We are very sorry for this inconvenience.
A look at the forecast over the next 10 days shows little relief from the brutally cold weather, but a little moderation in temperatures looks to be on the horizon by mid January with daytime highs rising to the 40’s by then.
Saturday, January 9th at 9pm, Blue Skye’s country southern jams are right here in the valley at DBBC! Have some fun while trying Jason’s new Trukker Pils.
