Wintry precipitation (snow, sleet, and freezing rain) also
affect South Carolina. Snow and sleet may occur
separately, together, or mixed with rain during the
winter months from November to March, although snow
has occurred as late as May in the mountains.
Measurable snowfall may occur from one to three times
in a winter in all areas except the Lowcountry, where
snowfall occurs on average once every three years.
Accumulations seldom remain very long on the ground
except in the mountains.
Typically, snowfall occurs when a mid-latitude cyclone
moves northeastward along or just off the coast. Snow
usually occurs about 150 to 200 miles inland from the
center of the cyclone. The greatest snowfall in a
24-hour period was 24 inches at Rimini in February
1973. During December 1989 Charleston experienced
its first white Christmas on record, and other coastal
locations had more than six inches of snow on the
ground for several days following.
Sleet and freezing rain vary from 3.75 events per year in
Chesterfield County to less than 0.75 events per year in
the Lowcountry. The highest frequency by month occurs
in January with more than 1.5 events per year in the
Charlotte area and Chesterfield County, to less than
0.25 events per year in the Lowcountry. This rain, which
freezes on contact with the ground and other objects,
can cause hazardous driving conditions, breakage of
various types of wires and the poles on which they are
strung. One of the most severe cases of ice
accumulation from freezing rain took place February
1969 in several Piedmont and Midlands counties.
Timber losses were tremendous and power and
telephone services were seriously disrupted over a
large area
