For Upstate SC:
401 AM EST SAT JAN 19 2008
...SNOW ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EST THIS EVENING...
THE SNOW ADVISORY IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EST THIS EVENING FOR MUCH OF THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT OF THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND EXTREME NORTHEAST GEORGIA.
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OFF THE TEXAS COAST WILL TRACK QUICKLY NORTHEAST TO A POSITION OVER THE FLORIDA PENINSULA BY THIS EVENING. A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH THE PRECIPITATION CHANGING TO ALL SNOW BY LATE MORNING. MOST AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO RECEIVE 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOWFALL BEFORE PRECIPITATION TAPERS OFF IN THE LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING.
A BAND OF HEAVIER SNOW MAY DEVELOP SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE ADVISORY AREA DURING THE LATE MORNING HOURS...MOST LIKELY OVER THE NORTHERN UPSTATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA OR THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA. IF THIS BAND DOES DEVELOP...LOCAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS COULD REACH 4 INCHES.
A SNOW ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CAUSE PRIMARILY TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SNOW COVERED ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING.
I would not be surprised that in the Northern Greenville area that we get around 3-4 inches. Now the radar shows Atlanta getting the snow now, and what ever they get, we usually get in around two hours later. I’ll keep y’all posted on the weather.
Here’s an interesting little anecdote:

VERY early returns from Lexington County, S.C. [Michael Graham]
From a blog:
Four votes for Fred Thompson from a family of evangelicals, which is interesting because, when I spoke to these same folks two weeks ago, none of them were Thompson supporters. In fact, they were barely aware of his candidacy. One was a Giuliani supporter and the others were looking fondly upon Huckabee, but hadn’t made a decision.

Snow in Up Country may hurt Huckabee big time.
The SC primary is a regional battle between Up Country (Huckabee) and Low Country (McCain).
Turnout in these places will be key for the candidates.
Hey, I’m in Greenville and won’t let a little snow deter me from voting for Fred! You know the saying “Broken Glass Republicans”? Snow just covers up the glass :)
