Heavy Snow in Southern Greenville, South Carolina

A developing surface cyclone off the Carolina Coast spread abundant moisture into Upstate South Carolina, which was still mired in a cold, winter-like temperature regime. The result was another widespread snowfall. The heaviest snow totals were near the South Carolina mountains, where Tigerville, in northern Greenville County, recorded 5 inches. However, the snow was not terrain-dependent, as Greenwood, with one of the lowest Upstate elevations, recorded 4 inches, as did Pickens, in the foothills of the mountains. Accumulations, in general, ranged from 1 to 3 inches.
