October snow

Along Turkey Ridge Road - Greene County, Virginia

The winter storm that hit the northeast this weekend passed through Greene County late Friday night. Around noon Saturday, the cold rain stopped and the sky began to clear. There was snow in the mountains.

Snow in October is unusual, and I decided to drive up into the mountains and see what the snow looked like on the autumn foliage. The photo above was taken shortly after the skies started to clear. Although I was not high enough for snow at this location, snow was visible in the higher elevations and I continued up the mountain on a narrow dirt road. At the end of that road was about four inches of heavy, wet snow.

Join me this week for autumn color and snow on the mountain
