Who says it doesn&#8217;t snow in South Carolina?<\/p>\n<p>This storm was interesting in a couple of ways. Because of the temperature profiles, there was really no question about what sort of precipitation we were going to get: it was all snow. Usually there&#8217;s a lot of uncertainty about whether we&#8217;ll get rain, freezing rain, sleet, and\/or snow. Often it ends up being freezing rain, resulting in ice on everything.<\/p>\n<p>The other interesting thing is that this storm drew in moisture off the Atlantic, and the amount of snow was actually higher towards the south. A friend in Greenwood, to the south, reported about 2 inches of snow, while I measured just under one inch.<\/p>\n<p>As usual, the effects of this weather continue. Any snow that melted but didn&#8217;t dry up will be ice by morning, &#8220;black ice&#8221;, so called because you often can&#8217;t see it when you&#8217;re driving down the road. If you&#8217;re not careful, you can end up in the ditch with no clue what happened.<\/p>\n<p><A HREF=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/photos\/111937200226914845828\/albums\/5974428139019570881\/5974428158903016450?pid=5974428158903016450&amp;oid=111937200226914845828\"><IMG SRC=\"\/media\/IMGP8590_0006_tn.jpg\"><\/A><br \/>\n<A HREF=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/photos\/111937200226914845828\/albums\/5974428139019570881\/5974428208095084098?pid=5974428208095084098&amp;oid=111937200226914845828\"><IMG SRC=\"\/media\/IMGP8593_0005_tn.jpg\"><\/A><br \/>\n<A HREF=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/photos\/111937200226914845828\/albums\/5974428139019570881\/5974428879879313234?pid=5974428879879313234&amp;oid=111937200226914845828\"><IMG SRC=\"\/media\/IMGP8599_0004_tn.jpg\"><\/A><br \/>\nCan&#8217;t let this go out without some creature content:<br \/>\n<A HREF=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/photos\/111937200226914845828\/albums\/5974428139019570881\/5974429036269117218?pid=5974429036269117218&amp;oid=111937200226914845828\"><IMG SRC=\"\/media\/IMGP8606_0002_tn.jpg\"><\/A><br \/>\n<A HREF=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/photos\/111937200226914845828\/albums\/5974428139019570881\/5974429137969677570?pid=5974429137969677570&amp;oid=111937200226914845828\"><IMG SRC=\"\/media\/IMGP8607_0001_tn.jpg\"><\/A><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our first winter storm of 2014 is mostly history.
