In our January 2010 issue of Nelson County Life Magazine, page 25, (out now) we take a look at Serenity Ridge Retreat Center. It’s part of the Ligmincha Institute, a nonprofit organization started in 1992 by Geshe Tenzin Wangyai Rinpoche. Photographer & Videographer, Norm Shafer, who comes to us from The Virginian-Pilot takes you there in his pictures and his video. It’s a feature we have added here at NCL. Be looking for more as we move forward. Writer, Jennie Tal, tells you about Bon Buddhism, an ancient form of Tibetan Buddhism – the country’s oldest spiritual tradition. Bon, which is more than 17,000 years old, is older than Buddha himself.

With temps in the Rockfish Valley of Nelson County nearing 60° on Saturday, plenty of snow melted sending lots of water into area rivers like the Rockfish at Wintergreen Winery in Beech Grove.
The above video was shot Saturday show how full the rivers are and how much the snowmelt is making them rise.
The possibility of a light snow is in the forecast tonight, with better chances around New Year’s Day.

More than a week later, snow still covers the ground after a major snowstorm hit Nelson County, Virginia. A blizzard dumped more than two feet of snow in Nelson & Wintergreen 7 days ago. In spite of the recent steady rain and warming temps, a nice snow pack still remains over Nelson County.
Look for warming temps over the remainder of Christmas weekend with partly sunny skies.
Colder weather heads back in next week!
Enjoy!
Nelson County, Virginia
!!!CANCELLED CANCELLED CANCELLED!!
The Winter Weather Advisory that was in effect for the valley portions of Nelson County has been allowed to expire as temperatures are approaching the mid 30’s.
However, in the mountainous regions of the county, temps continue hovering right around the freezing mark as of 2PM. Our NCL Wintergreen Nature Foundation Station showed a temp of 32.2° at 2:15PM. A Winter Weather Advisory is still in effect for that area until 3PM. Temps will continue rising this afternoon and evening, so additional icing should not be a factor into the overnight hours, flooding may be.
A Flood Watch goes into effect at 3PM for the area due to continual rain that will be falling over the next several hours. The melting of the snow pack already in place may cause some instances of flooding in some areas.
Much better weather is on the way for Saturday!
More updates later this evening in Tommy’s Audio Weather.
Merry Christmas!

As we talked about earlier today yesterday, another storm system is on its way to Nelson and Central Virginia, but it appears this one won’t have the impact of last weekend’s storm. Though, we may see a few hours of icing once an area of rain begins moving in during the early morning hours Christmas Day.
A Winter Weather Advisory begins at 4AM Christmas morning, (scheduled to expire at 1PM) followed by a Flood Watch later in the afternoon Christmas Day.
Present thinking is this system will change over to plain rain fairly fast during Christmas Day, so currently a major icing event is not anticipated. But, as with any icing near the Blue Ridge, a degree or two can make all of the difference.
Continued updates Christmas Day over in Tommy’s Audio Weather, on our Facebook page, and on Twitter.
