| Episode Narrative | Moderate to heavy snow associated with a Gulf Coast storm system spread from south to north across the upstate and northwest piedmont of South Carolina between midnight and 3 am. By sunrise, most areas had received from 4 to 6 inches of snow. The snow became lighter after sunrise, but continued into the afternoon hours. Total snowfall ranged from 6 to 8 inches across the region. During the early afternoon, precipitation changed to light freezing rain and continued into the evening hours. This added as much as a tenth of an inch of ice to the heavy snowfall totals. Persistent cold temperatures ensured that many roads remained snow-packed or ice covered for several days. Some schools and businesses remained closed for as much as 5 days. |
