By FITSNews || For those of you unfamiliar with South Carolina, it never snows here.
Well, not in Columbia, S.C. anyway.
Greenville and Spartanburg (hell even Myrtle Beach) occasionally get some snowflakes, but Columbia? Never. It’s like the concrete armpit of the Southeast has too much residual hot air from our do-nothing state legislature for any winter precipitation to fall … let alone stick.
Well, that theory will be put to the test Friday and Saturday as a rare winter slush/snowstorm begins making its way across the Palmetto State.
Current forecasts call for as much as four inches of snow to fall in the Columbia area, although we’ll believe that when we see it.
Anyway, the National Weather Service has most of the state under a winter storm warning that will run through Saturday morning. Traveling is strongly discouraged.

My Husband and I are vistiing Myrtle Beach. And we heard that there is supposed to be some snow and that travel is discourged. Being from Michigan, we find this to be funny. Michiganders don’t stop for anything, esp. snow. The crappiest days are when you actually find people driving places.
Just remember to drive slower and if you happen to slide…turn your wheel with it. (that will prevent you from doing a 180 in the snow.)
God bless you all…and if there happens to be enough snow, make a snow man, and go sledding. :)

Well we should have known it was going to snow..growing up I always heard that it would be a cold day in **** before a ****** would be president. And what happens to us the first winter after he takes office?? Obama promised change he just forgot to mention it would include another ice age!! So much for Gore’s global warming. One has to wonder if Gore is riding this weather out in Tennessee (cold) or DC (colder) or is on the beach in Hawaii??…

Sic Willie, you have a short memory. It snows in SC nearly every winter. Wow. What a shock. It snows in winter. So many people are so full of it when they act like they have never seen snow when they saw it last year. Do you big media types have a deal with bread companies or something?
