Winter Weather — Southern Greenville, South Carolina

2001-04-17 · Southern Greenville, South Carolina

Wider weather episode

A strong Arctic high pressure system built over the deep South at mid month, producing not only record cold temperatures for this time of year, but also contributing to records for late season snowfall at some locations as a potent upper level disturbance affected the region later in the day. With a tight pressure gradient in place, winds gusted as high as 55 mph at some foothill and piedmont locations.
