The South Carolina Department of Transportation has activated its online site for winter weather road conditions.

Below is a list from SCDOT of how crews across South Carolina are preparing for a winter weather event:
Engineering District 1 (Richland, Lexington, Kershaw, Lee and Sumter counties) - All first shift employees are prepared to come in Saturday night. As conditions change, we will modify accordingly.
Engineering District 2 (Anderson, Abbeville, Laurens, Newberry, Greenwood, McCormick, Saluda and Edgefield counties) - SCDOT crews are pre-treating Interstate routes today. Based on the current forecasts, crews will report throughout the day on Christmas. This may change as the situation warrants.
Engineering District 3 (Greenville, Oconee, Spartanburg and Pickens counties) - District 3 started pre-treatment operations on Wednesday. At this time all interstate routes, overpasses and ramps have been treated. This afternoon, crews began pre-treating primary routes and other more isolated locations. All counties will continue to pre-treat until the end of the work day today. Crews are on stand-by to work on Friday if the weather dictates or if the storm comes in earlier than it is now predicted. Under the current forecast, we anticipate phasing in our full complement of staffing on Christmas day.
Engineering District 4 (York, Cherokee, Union, Chester, Lancaster, Chesterfield and Fairfield counties) - Crews will continue start pre-treatment activities throughout the day tomorrow. They are prepared to start operational shifts on Christmas day, and will adjust based on the forecast.
Engineering District 5 (Horry, Georgetown, Florence, Marion, Williamsburg, Darlington, Dillon, and Marlboro counties) - In anticipation of a possible winter storm event, the crews in District 5 are scheduled to report Christmas night. This may be adjusted as the forecast changes.
Engineering District 6 (Charleston, Beaufort, Jasper, Colleton, Dorchester and Berkeley counties) - District 6 will be monitoring the forecast, and responding as needed. At this time the event is expected to be a rain event only.
Engineering District 7 (Aiken, Barnwell, Calhoun, Clarendon, Orangeburg, Bamberg, Barnwell, Allendale and Hampton counties) - District 7 will be monitoring the forecast, and responding as needed. At this time this event is expected to be a rain event only.
