Christmas without snow is not all that unusual in Virginia. But in 2015, we’re facing the prospect of a snow-free holiday season AND an unusually warm Christmas day. I, personally, don’t mind waiting a little longer for icy roads and slushy snow drifts, but with Christmas just around the corner, I can’t help but have Virginia’s snowy beauty on my mind.  And since Mother Nature clearly isn’t going to cooperate, it’s up to us at Only in Virginia to bring you some of Virginia’s most beautiful snowy moments. Consider it a little something to get you in the mood…
