This is an eyewitness report from the NowPublic member politisite who was on the scene.
NP Rank:
South Carolina has people humming, "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" as children awake to an additional day off following the Martin Luther King, Jr Holiday. Many readers in the north will chuckle as they see the photos of our, 'snow storm' that occurred over night. Well a chuckle is acceptable, but a day off, to make snow angels, is priceless

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Snow is falling across much of South Carolina on Tuesday.
Snow has been reported from Greer to Beaufort, as well as from Greenwood to Myrtle Beach.
Much of the state is under winter weather advisories or warnings.
Gov. Mark Sanford delayed the opening of state offices in a number of counties. Many schools across the area are closed, as well.
Despite the Martin Luther King holiday on Monday, city of Columbia workers installed plows, checked their vehicles and supplies and went over their response plan to prepare for the weather.
