Wider weather episode

An intensifying cyclone off the Southeast coast and cold air damming combined to produce a period of rain, sleet, and snow across portions of the South Carolina mountains. Precipitation began during the late evening of the 6th. Precipitation changed to rain in most areas after midnight, but not before 1-2 inches of snow had accumulated across the higher elevations. Rain changed briefly back to heavy snow around daybreak of the 7th, and a narrow corridor along the Blue Ridge saw 1-4 inch storm totals.
