Winter Weather in Greenville Mountains, South Carolina

As a wave of low pressure developed and moved along a stationary front over the Deep South, moisture spread into the Upstate South Carolina during the early morning hours of the 4th. The precipitation began as a mixture of rain sleet and snow in many areas. While some light accumulation of sleet and snow was reported across the mountains, all areas transitioned to freezing rain by mid-morning. Ice accretion of .1 to .2 inch was common, but primarily confined to elevated surfaces and vegetation due to temperatures hovering right around freezing.
