Up to four inches of snow and sleet were reported across the Charleston region Tuesday night and into Wednesday. While precipitation has moved out of our area, bitter cold temperatures are expected to persist Thursday night. These conditions will cause partially melted snow and ice to refreeze tonight, creating areas of black ice that will make travel extremely dangerous into the morning hours, especially along secondary roads. Residents are advised to avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve.
Crews from the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) and Charleston County Public Works are working around the clock to clear roadways. Additional crews are en route from the upstate to assist with road clearing operations. At this time, major highways including I-26, I-526 and U.S. Highway 17 are generally clear, but many secondary roads are still covered with snow and ice. St. John's Fire Department crews say Main Road and River Roads remain mostly ice and hazardous to travel. SCDOT and County are working through their clearing/salting plan which includes Johns and Wadmalaw Islands. On Friday, temperatures are expected to be above freezing by the late morning, but will drop back down below freezing Friday night into Saturday. Additional refreezing is expected. Due to the threat of hazardous travel conditions, Seabrook Island Town Hall will remain closed on Friday and members of town staff will be working remotely. The Seabrook Island Property Owners Association (SIPOA) Administrative Office and Lake House will be closed on Friday. Charleston County offices will also remain closed on Friday.
