Thought the sun was out most of the day Sunday, the snow from Saturday didn’t go anywhere with the cold air in place, especially in the mountains.
Here’s a few more scenes from the weekend snow.

3rd Annual RVCC Holiday Market Kicks Off! : 12.6.09
Afton
Nelson County, Virginia
Though the weather was pretty wintry in the higher elevations of Nelson County, it was just perfect in the Rockfish Valley. People packed the house at The 3rd Annual Holiday Market held indoors at the Rockfish Valley Community Center.
The RVCC Indoor Market held held each first Saturday of the month at RVCC during the winter months until the Nelson Farmer’s Market Coop cranks back up again next Spring.
Snow Beautiful For Most – Dangerous & Deadly For Others : 12.5.09
Nelson County, Virginia
For most folks the Saturday snow was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. Up in the higher elevations between 5-8 inches of a heavy wet snow fell by late Saturday. The higher the elevation, the higher the snow amounts. Down below in the the Rockfish Valley some locations saw nothing more than a snow/rain mix with no accumulating snow whatsoever.
Other wide area snowfall totals by going here to the NWS.
Previous coverage here and here.
The snow turned deadly in the afternoon up on Afton Mountain along Route 250 just inside the Nelson County Line. Crews worked for a long time on the accident that briefly shut down Route 250 for the afternoon. CBS-19 in Charlottesville has more here.
In an unrelated accident, a Virgina State Trooper lost control of his car and flipped on I-64 near the 103 mile marker. His injuries were not life threatening.
NBC-29 follows the story here.
Look for the snow to slowly end this evening with only an inch or so more accumulating in the higher elevations.
Sunday looks to be sunny & cool.

Heavy Snow Continues Falling At Wintergreen & Higher Elevations : 12.5.09
Devils Knob
Nelson County, Virginia
Head on up above to 3000+ feet and we’re talking real snow! Dima Holmes at Wintergreen Real Estate’s Discovery Ridge office let us use these photos. As of noon roughly 3-5 inches of snow had fallen on the mountains with heavy snow continuing.
Temps in the valley are hovering just above freezing around the noon hour, so not much snow has accumulated. Heavier snow may move into the area later today, with some snow accumulation in the lowers levels expected.
Thanks Dima for the photos!
