Nelson County, Virginia
As expected a quick burst of snow showers overnight had folks here in Nelson waking up to a dusting of snow in both the valley and on the mountains. There was just enough snow that it prompted Nelson school officials to put in effect a two hour delay due to some minor travel problems anticipated in the higher elevations. Some area schools were already out in observance of the President’s Day holiday.

Nelson Public Schools are on a two hour delay this morning due to some light snow that fell overnight. Some areas above 2000 feet in elevation and those in outlying areas may have some minor travel problems.
Wintergreen Resort
Nelson County, Virginia
Today is the final day of the long Valentine’s and President’s Day Weekend here in Nelson County. This one has been perfect! Wintergreen Resort has been able to make snow at night when the temps cooperated and the days have been beautiful with mild temperatures that made the skiing really nice. Our Paul Purpura grabbed these casual photos from the weekend. Paul, who also is a ski instructor at the resort tells us that he was giving lessons most of the weekend right on into the night. He also said: “The Snow Sports School was extremely busy with private as well as group lessons. Today’s (Sunday’s) weather was especially good and the resort was able to make snow both last night as well as Friday night,” he tells us.
Several different competitive snow sporting events took place this weekend as well, including Border Cross and other Rail Jam Events.

Lovingston
Nelson County, Virginia
You have to do a double take when you drive by and see a potty with a purple display around it! That’s what we did late last week when the potty was placed in the yard of Chris Floyd just south of Lovingston on Route 29 in Nelson County, Virginia. The Drumheller Relay For Life Team came up with the idea of putting the potty in folks yard and for a nominal donation they’ll remove it and place it in the next unsuspecting victim’s yard!
It’s a harmless and fun way to raise money for the event that takes place in the later this year in the summer.
