Wednesday looks like an 80% chance of rain kind of day. So you might want to do your snow play during the day. Monday and Tuesday are now looking decent with little chances of rain until Tuesday night. Sunday will still be mostly sunny during the day with winds in the teens to 20mph range. Highs Christmas Day will reach close to 60° with winds in the 22 to 24 mph range – ahead of the rainy system. Rain is likely on Wednesday of next week, but things look to be drying out a bit by Thursday and Friday. The chance of rain increases a little on Monday (30%) but things look pretty okay Monday and Tuesday. Massanutten, Wintergreen, Bryce, and Omni Homestead may be getting the least amount of drizzle with conditions looking pretty good today and Sunday. The forecast for the Christmas-to-New-Years week has changed a bit over the last few days and as of right now here are those deets: However, for now and the week ahead, we’re simply going to have to make lemonade out of lemons in terms of the precipitation that falls from the skies. We’ve been watching the snowy weather out west all week and dreaming that perhaps just SOME of that 156″ of snow in Lake Tahoe would come our way, and according to several meteorologists, we will start seeing some pattern flips to more cold and snowy conditions just AFTER the beginning of the new year. Of course, we’d rather NOT be experiencing high temperatures near 67° like are in today’s forecast for the Virginia mountains, but no rain is a good thing. The better weather for Christmas Day may be in the North Carolina and Virginia mountains, where we are seeing sunny/cloudy mixed skies and no rain in the forecast until this evening. While Colorado, California and Washington state all saw from 7″ to 12″ of snow in the past 24 hours (and more than ten FEET of snow in the last week), we will see from a tenth-to-one-half-inch of rain begin to spread across most of the region. Today is all about perspective…or if you’re in a really bummer mood – putting lipstick on a pig.Īs Snowshoe Mountain’s marketing department shared this morning, “Mother Nature seems to be playing Scrooge today” as we’ll be seeing gusty winds and light rain off and on throughout the day and throughout the region. I was blessed to receive brand new K2 boots and Atomic skis a couple of weeks prior to Christmas and Santa brought me some new socks and sunglasses – something I can never have too many of.

'Last Christmas' by Wham! - as told by Andrew Ridgeley "I thought the song deserved to be No 1 and didn’t want it to be a No 2, but in 1984, Band Aid released 'Do They Know It’s Christmas?'," he said. It was originally supposed to be released for Christmas 1984, but when Shakey heard about Band Aid and Wham!'s big Christmas songs, he decided to wait a year. It was delayed a year to avoid Band Aid.It was produced by Welsh guitarist and singer Dave Edmunds, who himself scored a Christmas number one in 1970 with 'I Hear You Knocking'.
