What happened

The episode as NWS GSP wrote it up.

Light snow developed across the mountains during the morning and continued into the afternoon before tapering off. The snow initially melted on roads. However, air temperatures rapidly cooling into the lower and mid 20s caused many roads to subsequently freeze. Although snowfall totals were very light (an inch or less in most areas), the slick roads caused several traffic accidents.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 28, 6:24 AM EST, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
624 AM EST TUE JAN 28 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH OF OUR AREA TODAY AS
WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE TRACK NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT. WINTRY
PRECIPITATION WILL FALL FROM THE GULF COAST TO EASTERN NORTH
CAROLINA TODAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY. COLD AND DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL
THEN MOVE INTO THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY AND REMAIN IN PLACE THRU
THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH
THE AREA EARLY SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1115 UTC TUESDAY UPDATE...WINDS WERE UPDATED FROM THE 06Z NAM AND
ADJMAV. POPS WERE INCREASED SLIGHTLY EARLY THIS MORNING IN THE
MOUNTAINS.

AT 230 AM EST TUESDAY...A BROAD UPPER TROUGH WILL EXTEND FROM THE
ROCKIES TO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC TODAY AND TONIGHT. SEVERAL
PROGRESSIVELY STRONGER CHANNELED IMPULSES WILL ROUND THE BASED OF
THE TROUGH EARLY TODAY.

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVER OUR AREA IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY INCREASE...
WITH PRECIPITATION BREAKING OUT FIRST IN THE MOUNTAINS IN RESPONSE
TO THE SERIES OF MID LEVEL IMPULSES. MODEL SOUNDINGS SUPPORT
SNOW...BUT ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE LIMITED BY ONLY WEAK ORTHOGONAL
FLOW INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

THE UPPER TROUGH WILL AMPLIFY DURING THE DAY...AS A STRONG SHORTWAVE
MOVES INTO ITS BASE. MEANWHILE...A SURFACE LOW WILL FORM ON A SLOW
MOVING COLD FRONT OFF THE COAST. ALTHOUGH THE BEST LIFT ASSOCIATED
WITH THE SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL TO OUR SOUTHEAST...WIDESPREAD LIGHT
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AND
FOOTHILLS LATE THIS MORNING. MODEL SOUNDINGS SUPPORT AN ALL SNOW
SCENARIO. HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL RANGE FROM UPPER TEENS IN THE
NORTHERN NC MOUNTAINS.

PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN TO TAPER OFF FROM THE WEST LATE THIS
EVENING AS THE COASTAL WAVE MOVES OFF TO THE NE...AND DRIER AIR
WORKS INTO THE AREA FROM THE NW...LEAVING JUST LIGHT SNOW IN THE FAR
SE BY DAYBREAK. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL RUN AROUND 12 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL...ALTHOUGH RECENT GUIDANCE HAS WARMED CONSIDERABLY IN
THE NC MOUNTAINS. FOR NOW...JUST A NOD IN THAT DIRECTION HAS BEEN
MADE...WARMING THE NC MOUNTAINS SLIGHTLY. IF TEMPERATURES REMAIN
COLD...WIND CHILL COULD BE A PROBLEM IN THE NC MOUNTAINS LATE
TONIGHT...BUT THE DECISION ON AN ADVISORY WILL LEFT UNTIL AFTER A
CURRENT WIND CHILL ADVISORY THERE EXPIRES.

QPF WILL BE LIMITED THIS FAR NORTH OF THE BETTER LIFT NEAR THE
FRONT...BUT ENOUGH FOR WARNING CRITERIA SNOW IN OUR FAR SE PIEDMONT
ZONES FROM ELBERT CO GA TO UNION CO NC. ADVISORY CRITERIA SNOW IS
EXPECTED IN THE REST OF OUR FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT...AND PORTIONS OF
THE SW NC MOUNTAINS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 AM EST TUESDAY...THE SHORT RANGE PERIOD IS TRANQUIL BY
COMPARISON...ALTHOUGH RELATIVELY COLD. THE TREND IN THE LATEST MODEL
GUIDANCE IS TO MOVE ALL THE PRECIP WELL TO OUR EAST BY 12Z
WEDNESDAY...SO THE FORECAST REFLECTS THAT DEVELOPMENT. WE SHOULD
CLEAR OUT FROM THE WEST THROUGHOUT THE DAY ALTHOUGH THE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTER WILL REMAIN TO OUR WEST. TEMPS WILL REBOUND A FEW
DEGREES SIMPLY BECAUSE PRECIP WILL NOT BE FALLING...BUT IT WILL
STILL BE ABOUT 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. A TRAILING SHORT WAVE WILL
MOVE OVERHEAD LATE IN THE DAY WITH LITTLE IMPACT...AS THERE WILL BE
NO MOISTURE TO WORK WITH. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OVERHEAD
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER FLOW FLATTENS OUT IN THE WAKE OF THE
SHORT WAVE. LITTLE CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE TEMPS. THE FLOW BECOMES
NEARLY ZONAL ON THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT WHICH SHOULD HOLD
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST THROUGH THE END OF
THE PERIOD. TEMPS SHOULD MODERATE A BIT THURSDAY AND THURSDAY
NIGHT...ALTHO STILL 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 230 AM TUESDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE PICKS UP AT 12Z ON FRIDAY WITH
THE BROAD UPPER TROF WELL TO OUR NORTH AND A RELATIVELY ZONAL
PATTERN OVER THE FCST AREA. AN UPPER SHORTWAVE IS PROJECTED TO MOVE
ACROSS THE CWFA ON SUN WITH A ZONAL PATTERN SETTING BACK UP FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE LONG RANGE MODELS
BEGIN INCREASING HEIGHTS AS THEY AMPLIFY AN UPPER RIDGE OVER THE
GULF OF MEXICO AND CARIBBEAN.

AT THE SFC...THE WEAK AND DIFFUSE COLD FRONT THAT APPROACHES FROM
THE NW ON FRI STILL LOOKS LIKE IT WILL STALL OUT JUST TO OUR NORTH
AS WEAK LOW LVL SLY FLOW PERSISTS OVER THE CWFA. ANOTHER LOW IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL MISS RIVER VALLEY ON SAT AND
TRACK NE TOWARDS NEW ENGLAND. THE LONG RANGE MODELS HAVE THE LOWS
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE CAROLINAS EARLY SUN AND THEN
OFFSHORE BY EARLY MON. BEYOND THIS POINT...THE MODEL SOLUTIONS
DIVERGE SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE LATEST RUN OF THE ECWMF SPINNING UP
ANOTHER LOW OVER THE FCST AREA ON MON AND TRACKING NE AND OFFSHORE
BY MON EVENING...WHILE THE GFS SPREADS DRY HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
CWFA BY EARLY MON AND MAINTAINS IT INTO TUES. FOR THE SENSIBLE
FCST...I RAMP POPS UP MORE SLOWLY TO SLIGHT CHANCE BY FRI EVENING
AND THEN SOLID CHANCE ON SAT AND SUN. I BRING POPS BACK UP TO SOLID
CHANCE BY DAY 7 ON TUES TO ACCOUNT FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE ANOTHER
LOW THAT DEVELOPS TO OUR SW. TEMPS SHOULD STEADILY CLIMB THRU THE
WEEKEND WITH HIGHS REACHING THE LOW 60S OVER THE SC UPSTATE. THEY
WILL LIKELY DIP AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK AFTER THE FROPA ON SUN.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT...LOWER VFR CIGS ARE APPEARING NW OF KCLT...AND ARE EXPECTED
AT KCLT WITHIN A FEW HOURS.  SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AS EARLY AS
LATE MORNING...BUT A GUIDANCE DOES NOT BRING AND MVFR TO IFR CIG
RESTRICTION UNTIL AROUND SUNSET AS SNOWFALL RATES PEAK...ABOUT THE
SAME TIME AN MVFR TO IFR VSBY RESTRICTION APPEARS. SNOWFALL TOTALS
ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 1 TO 2 INCHES. IMPROVEMENT TO VFR OCCURS
AFTER MIDNIGHT AS DRIER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND A DEPARTING COASTAL LOW.
WINDS WILL EVENTUALLY BACK FROM NE TO N...BUT WILL WEAKEN AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES.

ELSEWHERE...A LOWER VFR CIG HAD ARRIVED AT KAVL AND KHKY...AND IS
EXPECTED TO DO SO AT SC SITES WITHIN HOURS. SNOW IS EXPECTED FIRST
AT KAVL BY MID MORNING...THEN FOOTHILL SITES BY MIDDAY. SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS AT TAF SITES WILL BE AROUND AN INCH OR SO.
RESTRICTIONS TO NOT APPEAR LATE AFTERNOON AS SNOWFALL RATES
INCREASE...WHEN MVFR CIGS AFFECT ALL SITE BUT KAND. BY EARLY EVENING
AN IFR CIG SETS UP AT KAND. VSBY RESTRICTIONS WILL OCCUR ABOUT THE
SAME TIME...WITH MVFR TO BRIEF IFR. IMPROVEMENTS TO VFR OCCUR LATE
THIS EVENING AS THE COASTAL LOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NOW MOVES OFF TO
THE NORTHEAST. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BACK FORM NE TO N...WEAKENING AS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES.

OUTLOOK...VFR UNDER COLD HIGH PRESSURE LASTING THROUGH THU. LIGHT
PRECIPITATION AND SOME RESTRICTIONS MAY RETURN FRI-SAT AS LOW
PRESSURE MOVES WEST OF THE AREA.
