Heavy Snow in Southern Greenville, South Carolina

The latest in a sprightly succession of Arctic cold fronts crossed the region on the 18th and 19th. Abundant low level moisture and an upper level disturbance riding over the new surge of cold air provided the ingredients for the latest round of snow. In general, snow accumulations ranged from 1 to 3 inches, although over 5 inches fell in the mountains of Oconee County, near the North Carolina border. For many areas in Upstate South Carolina, the total snow accumulations from the previous 30 days added to this event's accumulations equalled, or exceeded, a normal winter season's total snowfall.
