Winter Weather — Chester, South Carolina

2019-04-02 · Chester, South Carolina

Wider weather episode

Moisture associated with an area of low pressure developing off the southeast coast overspread an unseasonably cool air mass over the Piedmont during the morning hours. Precipitation initially fell as a mix of rain and snow. However, pockets of snow developed in association with heavier precipitation rates. This resulted in some areas of accumulation, mainly from trace amounts up to 1 inch. Despite warm pavement, snowfall rates were such that snow accumulated on some roadways, resulting in slick spots.
