Eastside of Greenville (city, not county) got ice only last night and today... no snow, no winter wonderland. Fortunately, my neighborhood has underground utilities... no outages.
To move to a place where you're guaranteed to miss 99 out of 100 South Carolina snowfalls, move to Columbia or further south. The ground in Columbia is frozen, but there wasn't a flake of snow. Just a couple of counties further north you'll always be getting the brunt of SC's snow and ice.

The 100th snow storm finally arrived. It is so powdery! Looking at it I'd say we got six inches in downtown Columbia. I have two sayings for snow in Columbia. #1: Damage and inconvenience seldom outweigh the novelty of snow in Columbia, South Carolina; #2: When it comes to snow in Columbia, South Carolina, it's here today, gone by noon.
This one might stick around a little longer, but not much.

Any Areas That Get Snowfall?..........interested In Relocating There
It has snowed in my area 3 times this year, with last night and yesterday afternoon bringing us around 4 inches.
If you are looking for "warm" winter weather, I'd skip SC. Now if you are looking for (normally) 40 to 60 degree winters then SC is ok. I myself thought about retiring to Murrell's inlet, but find the winters in SC not to be what I was looking for. Too cold, but for some people the winters are not too cold.
Because it's pretty rare that Columbia and points south gets snow that sticks, most people really love it when it does happen. My grandmother, in Orangeburg County, says she hasn't seen this much snow on the ground since 1973, and interestingly enough, the WIS-TV article says that is the year when a little over a foot of snow fell in Columbia. Grandma's got a great memory.
