A severe wind and snow event left Edgefield and Aiken counties with two to four inches of snow in some areas and widespread outages. Power crews worked overnight as high winds up to 70 mph caused downed limbs and scattered outages. The National Weather Service issued a state wide high wind warning while the Cooper River Bridge in Charleston briefly closed before reopening to limited traffic. Governor Campbell declared a limited emergency to mobilize National Guard support if needed.
