SCDOT preparing for possible snow, ice impacts from Winter Storm Cora

​Columbia, S.C. (January 8, 2025)-The South Carolina Department of Transportation has crews mobilized across the state for possible snow and ice impacts associated with Winter Storm Cora.

Secretary of Transportation Justin Powell said, "SCDOT crews are preparing equipment and pre-treating roads across the state while we continue to monitor the forecast. We want our community members to know that SCDOT stands ready to respond to any winter weather to keep South Carolinians moving."

Crews are pretreating the roads across the state in areas that could see winter weather impacts. SCDOT asks that drivers slow down and give crews space to work.

The potential for ice and snow means the possibility of hazardous driving conditions. As weather conditions deteriorate, people are encouraged to stay off the roads if they don't have to travel and to plan their route in advance and travel with caution if they do have to travel.

The traveling public should be weather aware and stay tuned to official sources of information including the South Carolina Emergency Management Division , local officials and local broadcasts.
