Light flurries now, the predictions range from a dusting to 1-2 inches. Worse the closer to the coast you get. My BIL at James Island (Charleston) sent a picture earlier of maybe 1/4 inch and still falling. Very unusual for them.

It's out of here in a few hours and headed up the coast. Good luck!



Damn. I was hoping it would dump a foot in Mt. Pleasant, just to shut
my son up.

Last I heard it is supposed to "explode" as it comes up the coast,
becoming essentially a winter hurricane.


I haven't seen the exact reports, but I would think Summerville probably got 4-6 inches. Areas just 20 or so miles SE of us got an inch or 2. I saw a few minutes of light flurries, then an hour later the skies were bright and clear. I-26 halfway between here and Charleston is where it starts to get bad, and I-95 is screwed. We were just above the line, and got just a little drive-by from an errant cloud.

Suits me.
