South Carolina Lowcountry gets first measurable snow in 10 years

As many as 50,000 Lowcountry residents are without power this morning as a result of the snow.

An estimated 12,500 people are without power in Charleston and 14,000 more in the Summerville area, according to SCE&G.

Berkeley County Electric Co-op is reporting another 20,000 outages, down from more than 32,000 at its peak early this morning.

The Highway Patrol is urging motorists to stay off the icy and slushy roads unless absolutely necessary.

We lost power and have lots of downed limbs. The yard is a winter wonderland. Wow. Read it all.

Update: The local newspaper photogallery is here and local residents sent in photos there.

    #1, of course not! That’s why they changed to “Climate Change”, more inclusive (in case GW was a hoax).

    At least here in the Pee Dee, we have power.light and heat. Of course the view from the windows is a winer wonderland. Nice but even now the snow is beginning to melt.

    It did not quite make it to the coast in Beaufort County though just a mile or two inland there was an inch or so….
