A Rare Sight: Snow Falls on Daniel Island

Not since 1989 has the South Carolina coast been blanketed with measurable snow. It’s usually our neighbors in the upstate who deal with the cold temperatures and falling snow. But that wasn’t the case on Saturday, February 13, when Daniel Island residents woke up to as much as three inces of snow covering their porches, yards and docks.

We might boast about our mild winter weather and warmer temperatures, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t enjoy the chance to get outside and play in the snow, build snowmen, make snow angels and even participate in a few snowball fights!

The snow lasted just a few hours before it melted away, but there were memories made on Daniel Island that morning that will last much, much longer!

Take a look at some of the photos island residents sent in:
