Powerful historic winter storm covers Manning, South Carolina in glaze ice from heavy freezing rain. A “Civil Emergency” is issued for most of South Carolina as it will be paralyzed by this storm. Some areas around Manning have .75 inches (3/4 inches) of ice on trees, powerlines, grass, and signs. The heavy ice is causing power outages and bringing down large trees blocking portions of heavily trafficked Interstate 95 making travel very treacherous and sometimes impossible. Police and fire crews race to cut, move, or mark the fallen trees. This area is the northern territory for the American Aligator, yet it’s being hammered by a fierce winter storm.
