  Snow causes wrecks, cancellations, and School opening delays web posted March 3, 2010  EDGEFIELD –
Edgefield and Johnston
residents were inundated with snowfall starting around 3:30 Tuesday
afternoon that made road conditions slippery causing a number of wrecks
and forcing the Edgefield County Council to cancel the regular monthly
meeting. Edgefield County Schools will delay their openings today for
two hours due to the winter weather.A cold light rain fell for most of the day across the county and then changed to sleet around 2:30 and then to snow about an hour later as temperatures fell to freezing in a matter of an hour. By 4 pm offices started letting employees head home and by 4:30 the roads began to show accumulations. Below: The Webcam of the Edgefield Town Square at 5:35 pm  The Sheriff’s
Dispatch began receiving calls of wrecks related to the
weather conditions as the snow continued to fall. No injuries were
reported.While the northern part of the county was seeing heavy snow, the southern part - from Trenton and below - saw only a short period of sleet and then light rain continuing into the night. With temperatures expected to fall well below freezing over night across the county, and the possibility of more precipitation into the early morning hours, roads could become icy and overpasses will certainly freeze. Drivers should take extra caution in the morning hours until temperatures rise above freezing. No date was provided for the rescheduling of the County Council meeting. © Copyright 2010
