Tuesday was somewhat of a transitional day weatherwise for Central Virginia. It wasn’t cloudy, it wasn’t clear, it wasn’t rainy, it wasn’t dry ….. Today will be much more decisive.

Bo Holland Phone Company @ RVCC
Afton, VA

We’ve all had to call the phone company from time to time to have them come out and fix the lines. Don’t you just love it when they ask you all of those stupid questions. Have you made sure your phone is plugged in? Does this affect all of the phones in your home? Are you calling us from the phone line affected? And my personal favorite, can you please go to the phone interface on the side of your building and unplug there, then plug in a standard phone to see if you have dial tone there? Can you whistle dixie, stomp your feet, and click your heels three times? There’s no place like home Dorothy! Where are my ruby red slippers?

I must admit the scene above got my attention as I drove up to the Rockfish Valley Community Center Monday afternoon. Bo was busy going through all of the steps mentioned above to make sure Verizon would come out to fix the phone line. Mmmm, can you say lightning strike Sunday night…of course that wouldn’t have anything to do with it!

That was some pretty wicked lightning. Monday we did see some scattered storms, but nothing like Sunday. Most areas remained dry, though the clouds hung in there for most of the morning with some sunshine in the afternoon. We’re headed out of this overcast afternoon thunderstorms scenario for most of the week. Days will be hot and partly cloudy.

Here’s the numbers from Monday: As of 11:59 PM EDT Monday night

Camp Peach @ Saunders Brothers
Piney River, VA

Okay, Camp Jeep 2007 is now part of the record books. Most of the Jeeps with their little orange flags waving in the breeze have gone home. You know ….. Yvette and I are both are Jeeps owners, several times over, but like we told our friend, Laurel Lee from Amherst the other night @ Camp Jeep taking pics, “We own Jeeps, but we aren’t sure we even understand this whole Camp Jeep thing. It’s a great for the lodging and local restaurants, but those of us living here know it’s sure nice to have the roads back!

We couldn’t help but laugh this weekend when we were out delivering the August issue. We cut across from Piney River on Route 56 to Saunders Brothers and saw the sign above in the picture. Camp Peach! Love it!

Paul Saunders and his family had a big weekend there. Paul even served us up a cup of great smooth ice cream. Yummy! Thanks Paul! The peaches are in! Here’s a couple more pics:

Customers

Speaking of Saunders, we are following one of Paul’s sons, Tom, on a scout trip to Wyoming with Troop 32 from Nelson County. Steve Crandall is with him along with others. Steve’s wife, Heidi, is keeping us briefed on their progress out there. She gave us an update late Sunday night on their progress.You can read about their adventures by clicking here.

Finally the dam broke for some of us in Nelson on Sunday. We got 1.55 inches of rain here at Nelson County Life Magazine in Greenfield near Ashley’s Market. Other stations got just under an inch. We lost power for about two hours, but you know, it was really nice, just sitting back and watching the lightning off in the distance and listening to the rain. Our friends, Rick & Sarah from Covesville Store were here having a burger on the grill. Great evening just watching the storms.

We have one more day today of scattered storms before we get back to hot weather with minimal chances for rain. After today it’s going to be hot and dry once again for several days.

Here’s the numbers from Sunday: As of 11:59 PM EDT Sunday

Camp Jeep 2007 Closing Night
Oak Ridge Estate : Arrington, Virginia

We’ve been telling you about the three day Camp Jeep event at Oak Ridge Estate since Thursday. Over 12,000 people and over 2500 Jeeps. Wow! Saturday night ended the whole thing with the B-52’s doing a little Roaming and Love Shack to name a few.

Yes, folks you’ll begin to see the number of Jeeps on the roads around here go back to normal starting today. But it looks like they had a great event for Camp Jeep 2007.

Wintergreen Performing Arts – Festival Finale
Wintergreen Mountain, Virginia

Though there’s still plenty of other events left on the table for the remainder of the year, Wintergreen Performing Arts held its Festival Finale Saturday night on the mountain at Wintergreen. It included the final Academy Concert, a pre-concert talk by Larry Alan Smith, Artistic and Executive Director of Wintergreen Performing Arts and Classics III. Part of the evening was to honor outgoing WPA President John Claman, violinist Robert McDuffie and conductor Peter Oundjian. The dinner was a relaxed and enjoyable celebration of WPA.

Camp Jeep
Oak Ridge Estate : Arrington, VA

It’s official, Camp Jeep 2007 in Nelson County is underway. We spent much of the day out at Oak Ridge Estate in Arrington on Thursday. What a heck of an event! There will be tons of Camp Jeep pics and video throughout the weekend right here on our site, so check back often. You can see more picture by scrolling down or clicking here. There is even a category named Camp Jeep, so by clicking on it, you will see anything and everything Camp Jeep.

We lucked out Thursday with most areas in Nelson staying dry. Some scattered thunderstorms did fire up points west and south, but as we predicted, the intense activity stayed well west of the Blue Ridge. Friday will be another day much like Thursday where we start out with some sun, showers and storms will develop by afternoon across the area. There is a slightly better chance of seeing storms east of the BRP today and especially on Saturday. Again, the next several days will by no means be rainy events all of the time, but decent chances are there for scattered storms in the afternoons.

Here’s the numbers from our very own NCL Weathernet sites Thursday:

*NCL-Nelson County Life Magazine – Greenfield
Wed High: 92.8 degrees @ 3:26 PM
0.00″ of rain

Camp Jeep 2007 kicked off Thursday at Oak Ridge Estate in Arrington. NCL was there for the beginning!

Yvette dirt trail
Anyone that knows Yvette, knows she doesn’t mind getting dirty. Camp Jeep is no exception! She was right out in the middle of the dirt trail getting the photos!

Youngster signing
Camp Jeep is about 10,000 folks packing into Oak Ridge Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Above is a future Jeep owner signing the board at Camp Jeep.

TS-Video
OK. Not to be outdone, Yvette got this shot of me doing the video of Camp Jeep. I use to shoot video all of the time in my video (TV) career long before Nelson County. Thankfully, Al Stacey, bought the latest and the greatest HD video camera for his chopper and I am getting to use it to capture stuff like Camp Jeep. The gear I once carried was about 6 X this big

diving
You wouldn’t think about diving in Nelson County, but at Camp Jeep you can!

snow slide
When it’s 90 degrees you don’t think about snow either, but Camp Jeep has figured out a way to go snow tubin’ in the middle of summer!

Yvette posed
Yvette hates it when I post pictures of her on our site. I mean hates it!. But you know, she has so much fun at these types of events, so what the heck! She was really spending lots of time getting really neat photos that you are seeing here.

Rock climbing
Okay, just the thought of going up there kind of makes me uncomfortable! – Well not really….

Harris son-1
We aren’t sure which of Danita Harris’ son this is, but we know it’s one of them! I am getting dizzy from just looking at this! But it looks like lots of fun!

Look for much more Camp Jeep live coverage here on the NCL website over the weekend.

CK-Plank Rd Sunset

Sunset on Plank Road
Nelson County, VA

Christina Kline, our Nelson Outdoors writer, caught this nice sunset at the intersection of Rockfish Gap & Plank Rd. We did manage to see some peeks of sunshine on Wednesday, but most of the day was overcast. For the most part rainfall was in the morning not the afternoon hours. There were some very heavy downpours on the other side of the mountain in Waynesboro, but not much here.

Today is the opening day for Camp Jeep so look for lots of Jeeps to stream in over the next several days as the events goes for 3 days. The weather will be mild, but chances for showers and thunderstorms will loom through the weekend. It won’t be an all day rain event, but scattered at almost anytime across the area. We really don’t have anything to get us cleared out for about a week. By next Wednesday we will see a system swing through to make the clouds clear.

Thursday will start out mostly sunny except for patchy fog, but as the day wears on clouds will increase with chances for afternoon thunderstorms again..We talked about a stubborn upper level low yesterday, and today it holds on. Until that low and a frontal boundary that approaches in a day or so get out of here it will continued to be more unsettled weather wise. We will see a bit more sun today, but nothing to write home over.

Here’s the numbers from Wednesday:

*NCL-Nelson County Life Magazine – Greenfield
Wed High: 79.3 degrees @ 2:49 PM
0.06″ of rain

*NCL-Wintergreen Nature Foundation @ Devil’s Knob
Wed High: 67.7 degrees @ 1:45 PM
0.08″ of rain

*NCL-Wintergreen Winery at the foot of Wintergreen Mountain
Wed High: 80.2 degrees @ 3:51 PM
0.08″ of rain

*NCL-Delfossee Winery & Vineyard near Hickory Creek : Faber
Wed High: N/A @ 0:00 PM
0.00″ of rain

*NCL-Tiger Fuel – Lovingston
Wed High: 78.1 degrees @ 4:27 PM
0.17″ of rain

Bent Creek in far SE Nelson had 2.4 inches of rain – by far the most. You can see their totals and others from the Nelson Rain and Flood Gauge site by clicking here.

The current surface map shows that upper level low hanging on. Scattered showers will remain in the forecast.
Current-Sat Surface Map

The National Forecast Map, shows scattered rain in the forecast for the next week. Not everyone will see showers, but some heavy downpours locally can occur as the storms that do develop won’t be moving very fast.
