Wintergreen Resort
Nelson County, Virginia

The last day of 2009 started out with a mixture of sleet, snow and freezing rain here in Nelson County, but not enough to cause any major problems, or affect the best ski conditions at Wintergreen Resort in recent years. Days before Christmas a major snowstorm dumped over 2 feet of snow in Nelson County, with some locations on the mountain at Wintergreen getting 31 inches of snow.

In addition to natural snow, the resort has been making snow along the way keeping the slopes in excellent shape for the new year.

“Appears” Mid-Atlantic & Central, VA Will Miss Brunt Of New Year’s Storm : 12.30.09

Nelson County, Virginia
All eyes have been watching to see what the weather will be doing over the next 48 to 72 hours. As of early Wednesday morning, it appears, Nelson and the surrounding areas of Central Virginia will be spared a major winter storm this time around. That’s not to say we won’t see a wintry mix of weather beginning in the overnight hours Wednesday through Friday, but this storm really won’t get cranking until it’s over New England closer to the weekend. Accu Weather talks more about it here.

After a frigid night Tuesday with lows falling into the single digits and teens, temps over the next day or two will be inching above the freezing mark enough that right not it appears a mix of sleet, freezing rain, and just plain rain will be the primary concerns, beginning after midnight tonight.

The hazardous weather statement by the NWS discusses the potential here.

Though a slight change in the track of the developing storm could change our chances, again this morning, it’s not thought this will be a major storm for our region.

Temps, however, by Saturday into next week will be very, very cold.

“It appears Mr. Goins was drinking. He had a 22 rifle and the woman’s son tried to wrestle the gun away when it went off hitting the woman in the bicep area of the arm. It was a clean in and out wound, and if not life threatening,” said Sheriff Brooks.
