CHARLESTON, S.C. (Jan. 30, 2026)- As the Lowcountry prepares for snowfall this weekend, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) is ensuring residents across South Carolina's 1st Congressional District have the resources and information they need to stay safe.

Significant snowfall is projected across the district this weekend. Our office is in close contact with Emergency Managers, County Administrators, and local officials to monitor conditions and ensure communities remain safe and prepared.

"We don't get snow in the Lowcountry very often, so making sure everyone in our district is safe and prepared is our top priority," said Congresswoman Mace. "Stock up on what you need today, charge your devices, and have a plan. Our office is working closely with local officials to ensure our communities have everything they need to get through this storm safely."

What we're expecting as of right now:

• Charleston County: Approximately 2 inches of snow, with the Awendaw-McClellanville area potentially seeing closer to 3 inches
• Dorchester and Berkeley Counties: 4-6 inches of accumulation based on current forecasts from Emergency Management officials
• Beaufort County: Current forecasts call for 1 to 2 inches of snow for the Hilton Head and Beaufort areas
• Timing: Snowfall expected to begin Saturday morning and continue into early Sunday

We're urging residents to prepare now: stock up on groceries and essential supplies, fill up your gas tank, charge electronic devices, and make sure you have any necessary medications. Once the storm begins, please stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary and follow all local emergency management guidance.
