Sponsor Our ArticlesRock Hill residents are preparing for a significant winter storm bringing snow, ice, and freezing rain, with hazardous travel conditions forecasted. Schools will switch to remote learning, while the National Weather Service advises caution due to the potential for power outages and black ice. Residents are reminded to stay off the roads and prepare for a chilly weekend ahead.
Rock Hill, brace yourselves! A significant winter storm is on its way, and it’s bringing along a mix of snow, ice, and freezing rain that could make for a rather chilly and slippery weekend. This storm is set to impact not just our city but also York, Chester, and Lancaster counties, with weather conditions expected to take a turn starting Friday afternoon.
The National Weather Service has put out a winter storm warning that begins Friday and lasts through Saturday morning. It looks like we’re in for a fun mix of mother nature’s frozen offerings—about 1 inch of snow and 0.3 inches of ice are expected to accumulate in the Rock Hill area. So, if you’ve got plans for the weekend, you might want to reconsider!
With ice accumulation, driving conditions are likely to become hazardous, especially on secondary roads that don’t get as much traffic or sunlight. Travel advisories have been issued, advising everyone to stay off the roads from Friday until conditions improve. We want to keep everyone safe, so if you can stay in, do it!
In response to the looming storm, schools in the Rock Hill area will switch to remote classes on Friday, and all extracurricular activities have been canceled. It’s a bummer for students looking forward to after-school fun, but safety is the priority. It’s also worth mentioning that other nearby districts, including Charlotte-Mecklenburg and Gaston County, are following suit with similar closures and remote learning options.
One of the biggest concerns with this winter storm is the potential for power outages. With ice accumulation on trees and power lines, falling branches can rapidly lead to disruptions. Duke Energy has already reported that recent storms have knocked out power for 54,000 customers primarily due to tree-related issues. To prepare, make sure you have your emergency contacts handy:
Once we get through the storm, temperatures are expected to drop significantly, with lows hovering around or below 20 degrees at night. Make sure to bundle up if you need to head outside after the storm. Just a heads up—be on the lookout for black ice as temperatures plunge post-storm!
Throughout the state, over 36,000 tons of salt have been spread on roads as part of the Department of Transportation’s effort to manage the icy conditions. It’s all hands on deck to make sure everyone can stay safe during this storm.
So, Rock Hill folks, let’s prepare ourselves for a cold, wintery weekend. Stay updated on the weather, and please remain safe and warm! Whether you’re cozied up at home with hot chocolate or enjoying some winter fun (safely, of course), let’s make the most of this wintry weather!
