⚠️⚠️⚠️As temperatures plunge again tonight statewide, any snow or ice that melted today will refreeze, creating patches of black ice. This is extremely dangerous!
We are urging everyone to stay off the roads until conditions improve.
If essential travel is required, please be sure to visit 511sc.org or download the 511SC Traffic App to check road conditions.
If you come across SCDOT workers or first responders, please move over and give them plenty of space to work safely.
