Snowboarding at UVA and More Snow Tuesday

by Kelly on February 8, 2010

The roads look so much better this time after the snow.  The main roads are almost completely clear…at least in one lane.  But, side roads, UVA, and the downtown mall are another story.  More snow predicted for Tuesday from NBC 29 with a 90% chance and a  3-5 inches.

This video is from Notes from Peabody’s blog.

So much snow in Charlottesville lately!  This weekend 1 to 2 more feet predicted!  Full story on the National Weather website.  According to the City of Charlottesville website, Charlottesville’s average snowfall is 24 inches.  My nephew made a whole snowman family.  It’s the perfect packing snow!  Just to remind us, some of us still love it…every single time it snows!

This is the first year I’ve really wanted a four wheel drive.  I feel like we all get the itch to go somewhere when we’re snowed in.  Last weekend I didn’t think my little Mazda Tribute could handle the snow so I called Wahooptie to get around.  They have one four-wheel drive vehicle and it was great.  They were fast coming to pick me up and the car maneuvered just fine on the snowy roads.
