⚠️⚠️⚠️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.

As the snow has moved out of our area, we want to remind everyone that the roads are still dangerous. Ice on the road remains a concern and will create hazardous conditions. If you do not have to go out, we are asking that you stay home.
Your safety and the safety of others is our top priority. Please use caution and only travel if it is absolutely necessary.
Stay home, stay safe, and stay warm! 🥶❄️☃️

Do you think the roads will be okay for tomorrow morning????
With dangerously cold temperatures expected, we want to remind you that extreme cold can quickly become a medical emergency if proper precautions aren’t taken.
Cold weather can cause serious health problems, including:
Hypothermia – when body temperature drops too low, leading to confusion, slowed breathing, and loss of consciousness
Frostbite – freezing of skin and tissue, often affecting fingers, toes, ears, and nose
Protect yourself and your family:
Dress in layers and cover exposed skin.
Limit time outdoors and take frequent warm-up breaks.
Check on elderly neighbors, young children, and anyone with medical needs.
Never use grills or generators indoors.
Keep space heaters at least 3 feet from anything that can burn.
Plug heaters directly into wall outlet and NEVER extension cords or power strips.
Make sure smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are working.
If you or someone else shows signs of confusion, uncontrollable shivering, numbness, or chest pain, seek medical help immediately.
Our crews are always ready to respond—but prevention is the best protection. Stay warm, stay safe, and look out for one another.

Due to the current road conditions, we urge EVERYONE to stay off the roads. The roads are accumulating ice and as the temperature continues to drop, this situation will get worse. There have been several accidents already.
Your cooperation will help keep you all safe and allow our first responders to effectively do their jobs. Please consider the impact on emergency services and stay off the roads at this time.
Stay home, stay safe, and stay warm! Let’s all do our part to keep our community safe.

Tell that to Walmart.

If under state of emergency they can not make you. But they would hold it against you.
I was at the scene, but the video is a bit sensitive. I've uploaded it to my post, so please check it out!
