Daughter sent pic from USC campus in Columbia. It is starting to accumulate. They are so excited over at the Horseshoe! The dorm dwellers are out in full force. 

A few flurries in Simpsonville (upstate SC near Greenville). Just a light dusting on cars and hard surfaces. That was more than I expected to see this evening. 

Hoping my daughter at USC in Columbia wakes up to a little snow on the ground tomorrow. She was so bummed out about missing the 6" of snow we had in our neighborhood last weekend.

Remember the Blizzard of December 1989? I was a student in Wilmington at UNCW. I left quickly to go home for Christmas just before it started, and when I came back to Wilmington, I had to shovel my way to my apartment door. The drifts were all of the way to my doorknob. It was glorious!

I understand everyone's frustrations about not being in the epicenter of the upcoming storm. Living in Southeastern North Carolina i was this happen to us all the time. Models come in showing a good hit then boom the inevitable NW trend or warm nose comes along. It has been many many years since Southeastern North Carolina has seen a decent winter storm.

my Mama used to tell me to never eat from the first snowfall.  I mean, I didn't realize then that we didn't have many options. Sometimes, there is no snowfall....you better take advantage on all snowfalls!

My Mama said the same thing. Something about the first snowfall cleaning the air of pollution (old wives' tale?) That was back when we got some awesome storms growing up in the northeastern Piedmont of NC in the 70s. There was always the next storm for snow cream. 

Now that I am in upstate SC, we get our snow cream when we can - with air pollution sprinkles, if need be.

I updated my location haha... right now I'm in Greenville, SC near the interaction of Hwy 14 & Woodruff road. Sorry I wasn't more specific earlier. 

I'm near hwy 14 and Woodruff Road too! Not liking the wet rain mixing in right now. 

Long-time lurker here (mostly) from Upstate SC. I don't know enough about meteorology to post anything intelligent on the big thread, but I do enjoy reading all of this and seeing the input from my fellow peeps from the Upstate. I'm in Simpsonville.

How concerned should we be about an ice storm in my region? I lived in Cramerton, NC during the December ice storm of 2002 and I never want to live through anything like that again!

Hoping for some good fun snow, for sure!

Yes, this is the sanitarium, but nobody is posting on the banter thread. I hope y'all don't mind. If so, please move my post.
