That's what we heard prior to moving here, when we asked if South Carolina ever got snow. Yet, this last weekend, we got about 6 inches! I laughed a little when the weather was forcasting 3-6". I laughed a lot when the kids were sent home from school early because it "might" snow. I thought, wow, these people are worse than western washingtonians when they get a little snow, but at least they don't freak out until AFTER the snow. Here they prepare for the freak out. People were frantically buying up milk, bread and toilet paper. I calmly stayed at home, going about my normal day, and laughing all the while.
About 4 hours after the kids had returned from school (early, haha) it started to snow. Little tiny baby flakes. It gradually increased and continued, leaving us with a beautiful blanket of "when pigs fly" snow.
These are pictures of the trees from out my kitchen windows. It was late at this point, so the only light I had was the golden glow from the street lamps.
This was as the sun was coming up the next morning! Beautiful!

WOW, you had to cross the country to get snow...and at such a late date. Does this mean that the kids have to make up snow days now?
Hey Dacia!
I lived in Columbia 1991 - 1995, and we saw snow fall once while there...it barely dusted the ground.
I hope you love it there! :)
