Winter Storm coming here

[Scanmen34]

This will be my first winner storm in South Carolina


Looks like there’s going to be a lot of active radio traffic, so I’m ready to listen. We also have a backup generator just in case.





Quick question for anyone local in York, Clover, or Rock Hill —


👉 Do y’all know if the county or city activate an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during storms, and where they usually monitor or coordinate from?





Stay safe everyone, and thanks in advance for any info! 🙏🚨

Not from your area but during storms is a good time to search for new/unidentified talk groups. If your scanner has id search, try it.

Also not from your area, but in the path of the storm. (NJ). I search business band/intinerant frequencies for snow plow operators. I also monitor a local taxi company to get an idea of road conditions in the immediate area.

I also search through the 2m/440 amateur bands.

Happy monitoring and stay safe!

Not sure if your interested or not but live webcams also paint a nice picture.

During any kind of serious inclement weather, ham weather nets provide good local information. Locally, tornados, severe thunderstorms, etc., always generate a weather net with contemporaneous local conditions (trees down, local flooding, etc.).

Thanks! Had not considered that option.

Scanmen34, There is a system in place in SC called SC Heart. VHF and UHF amateur repeaters will be linked to send and receive weather and other pertinent reports.

The map of all the linked repeaters (IRLP Status) is here:

Hope this helps and please everyone stay safe!

Made it so far with only a few power blinks. We got about 2 inches of ice but very little on the trees. I'm about 3 miles north of Travelers Rest off US-25.
