Carolina Weather Group

Tonight on the Carolina Weather Group, we open our archives for a special encore presentation covering three major weather anniversaries in the Carolinas.❄️ The "Granddaddy" of Them All: The Great Southeastern Snowstorm of 1973 (Original Air Date: 2023)First, we look back 50+ years to February 1973, when a historic storm dropped up to 24 inches of snow on South Carolina. Frank Strait and Melissa Griffin from the South Carolina State Climatology Office join us to discuss the records set by this event, including a verified blizzard in Florence, SC. We discuss the impacts, from thousands of stranded travelers on I-95 to thunder snow reported by cooperative observers.
