RAIN covers the Fab Four from their very first Ed Sullivan Show appearance through the Abbey Road album, through the psychedelic late 60s and their long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. RAIN is a multi-media, multi-dimensional experience…a fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials from the 1960s lights up video screens and live cameras zoom in for close-ups.

Wintergreen Resort
Nelson County, Virginia
We’ve been talking about the relentless rain falling across Virginia thanks to what’s left of Ida and a newly developed low off of the east coast.

Down below it’s rain, but up in the higher elevations of Nelson County, it was snow and freezing rain. Our Paul Purpura grabbed these shots of the light winter precip that fell. This is the second wintry mix of the 2009 fall season thus far.

Though no real problems were encountered from the wintry mix, temps at or just below freezing created the scenario for frozen precip.

Though, John Taylor up on Devils Knob (roughly 3500′) commented to our site Thursday morning that they got a pretty good snow, especially for mid November. “he mountain top roads here were snow-covered above the Wintergreen Overlook. Road crews were out working but mother nature was going full steam at that point. My “guess” from the driver’s seat is that around the Wintergarden and Nature Foundation an inch or more had fallen. Heading further west to Laurel Springs Drive, it looked to me more like 2-4 inches (unscientific). On Laurel Springs drive there definitely as enough snow to plow.” No question John we have some wacky weather going on!

Look for rainy and sometimes light wintry conditions above 3000 feet to continue throughout much of Thursday.

Nelson County, Virginia
A combination of weather systems continues bringing abundant rainfall to most parts of Virginia. By far, the most serious concerns have been along the Virginia coastline where heavy rains, high winds, and large waves have been coming ashore. The situation is expected to deteriorate even more during the day on Thursday as winds increase.

A State of Emergency was declared by Gov. Tim Kaine late Wednesday in connection with the storm.

Here in and nearby Nelson, lots of rain has fallen as well. As of late Wednesday night, nearly 3″ of rain had fallen up at Devil’s Knob on our NCL-Wintergreen Nature Foundation station. Another concern in the hgiher elevations overnight Wednesday was temps that had fallen very close to freezing. By 10:30 PM the Wintergreen stations was showing a reading of 33.6°.

Here at our office in Greenfield in the Rockfish Valley, our NCL station showed around 1.5″ of rain as of late Wednesday night. Go south just a few miles at our NCL-Devils Backbone location and they had 2.25″ of rain late Wednesday night.

All of the rain and winds are courtesy of what’s left of Hurricane Ida that formed in the gulf and eventually moved up the eastern seaboard. A new low has essentially absorbed Ida but continues to cause tremendous problems up and down the east coast, in particular Virginia and North Carolina. Ida was not predicted to affect our area this much, but the track combined with the new low has created the current situation.

Thursday, expect the rainy weather to continue with gusty northeasterly winds as high as 35 MPH at times here in our area, with some higher gusts up in the mountains.

Conditions are expected to improve by the weekend with warmer temps in the 60’s to near 70° and abundant sunshine.

Bluesman and Folksinger DOUGLAS DAY – Douglas Day is a folksinger and finger-style guitarist with a Ph. D. in folklore who lives with his family in Staunton. As a professional folklorist, Day has documented southern and mid-Atlantic folklore and folk-life since Jimmy Carter was president. With guitar and tape recorder in hand, he has learned from urban bluesmen and mountain ballad singers, and has accompanied gospel quartets in black and white churches. The music he plays has been gleaned from fieldwork from Appalachia to the Sea Islands, from the Mississippi Delta to Pennsylvania Dutch country, and the result is a gumbo of blues, country, gospel, folk, rock ‘n’ roll, and rhythm ‘n’ blues.

Friday, Dec 11, JAMIE HEWITT , 6-9pm

Singer/Songwriter JAMIE HEWITT – A local to Waynesboro, Jamie has been caught up in music since he was a pre-schooler, singing in choirs as early as five years old. This interest began to turn in a new direction and take on a life of its own when, after buying his first guitar while in high school, he began to teach himself to play by writing music. With no formal training to speak of, this process has been free to ebb and flow in a number of directions through the years and has yielded a blend of folk-influenced songwriting ranging from delicate finger-picking and vocals to moments of raw, open, and less-than-delicate dynamic presence. Convinced of the power of words, content has always been of primary importance to Jamie and a sense of honest introspection and lyrical depth is the thread that can be found to run throughout. Playing mostly originals with the occasional cover to pepper the set, Jamie invites those present to share in his love for music.
