- Share via
A winter storm blanketed parts of the Carolinas with record snow, making traveling hazardous, stranding motorists and closing schools.
The Army was forced to postpone the departure of National Guard units to Iraq.
The snow, falling 2 inches an hour at times in York County, S.C., piled into drifts up to 3 feet high. Charlotte, N.C., had up to 15 inches of snow by Friday morning, with a record 11.6 inches falling Thursday, almost double the old high mark for the date, 6.5 inches set in 1926.
