Okay, after looking at the numbers...
Lumberton breaks the daily record of 11, set back in 1980 while ALSO tying the all-time low of -1 back in January 1985.
This while Florence breaks the previous record set back in 1980.
Myrtle Beach ties the record of 20 set back in 1945!

OUCH! THREE DEGREES in Lumberton! Many other spots below 10 degrees! It just doesn't get cold like this very often at all! Thankfully the wind is less of an issue this morning. 🥶 🥶 🥶

Wow... Look at that temperature divide.
27° in Laurinburg, 45° in Georgetown.
THIS is why liquid rain is expected along the coast. Meanwhile, concerns for ice continue for Scotland, Robeson, Marlboro, Darlington, Florence & Dillon counties.
Not out of the woods just yet.

While snow is looking less likely for our area 😭 , the possibility raised an interesting question: How often have we seen measurable snow more than once in a 12-month time-frame?
10 times it has happened in Myrtle Beach. 18 times in Florence. And 44 times in Lumberton!

Measurable snow is sadly not looking like a realistic chance anymore for parts of our area.
That being said, some flakes could still fall on the back-end of what will be a mainly cold rain event. I'll foolishly hope for this, but I cannot forecast snow in good faith. Stay warm!

Tomorrow will be SOGGY thanks to an approaching front. Don't count on it being sunny until Sunday as high pressure builds back in.
