Episode Narrative A developing coastal storm brought a mix of light rain and snow to portions of the upstate and northwest piedmont of South Carolina during Christmas afternoon. By early evening, precipitation had changed to all snow over the upstate, and most areas had experienced a rare white Christmas by late evening. At the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport, it was the first white Christmas since 1962. Over the northwest piedmont precipitation didn���t change over to all snow until shortly after midnight. Snow continued to fall steadily throughout Christmas evening, and upstate locations reported heavy snowfall totals by midnight. The northwest piedmont didn���t see heavy snow totals until shortly before sunrise. By the time the snow tapered off to flurries and light snow showers on the 26th, 2 to 5 inches had fallen across the area.
