The lake at Fairy Stone State Park remained frozen nearly a week after the frigid temperatures that hit the area over Christmas weekend gave way to milder conditions. Last week, many areas experienced temperatures in the low 60s, before rain moved in to usher in the new year. Communities in and around Stuart may expect the milder trend to continue this week, with showers and temperatures in the mid-50s to low 60s, according to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg.
