  SCDOT Crews Prepare for Winter Weather web posted January 25, 2013 COUNTY – There is a winter storm predicted to impact South Carolina beginning Friday, Jan. 25. Current forecasts for severity and accumulation vary widely as well as the counties that will be affected. As the storm event gets closer, it is expected that the forecasts will be more consistent. Currently, the affected area is predicted to be west of I-95 and north of Interstate 20. It is very likely that road conditions will be very poor if a significant storm hits.SCDOT will focus primarily on interstate routes and move to lower priority routes as conditions allow. SCDOT’s response varies by area of the state: In Kershaw, Lee Lexington and Richland counties, crews will begin Friday as a normal day and will be prepared to respond dependent upon the event severity. Snow and ice equipment is being hooked up. Crews will report Friday afternoon and evening if needed. In Abbeville, Anderson, Greenwood, Laurens, and Newberry counties, SCDOT crews will be pretreating with salt brine. These operations are scheduled to begin no later than 7 a.m. with the interstates as the first priority followed by the county’s bridges. McCormick, Edgefield, and Saluda counties will begin Friday as a normal day. The weather forecast will be monitored and adjustments will be made as necessary. In Aiken, Barnwell, Calhoun, Clarendon, Orangeburg, Bamberg, Allendale and Hampton counties, salt spreaders will be loaded Friday morning. Each county will be monitoring conditions and have crews on standby, if needed. The State Traffic Management Center will be operational. The SCDOT Director of Maintenance staff is monitoring the forecast and conditions statewide. To check SCDOT updated road conditions click here. © Copyright 2012 - 2013 All material is property of
