00:00The temperature has just risen above freezing here near the South Carolina-North Carolina border.
00:06I am just to the south of the border gas station, and the weather service shows over a foot of snow fell along the North Carolina-South Carolina border here
00:16as that mesoscale band set up with the bomb cyclone intensifying overnight.
00:20You can see we're starting to get some major melting out here.
00:24Perfect snowman snow here as well.
00:27This is very wet, starting to clump together.
00:30Roads are largely clear along I-95 and drying out as well as the temperatures continue to rise.
00:36That is great news for this region.
00:39Everything is starting to open up as well this Monday, but you can see the snow cover here,
00:44which looks weird with the South Carolina Welcome Center sign.
00:48Bright blue skies above.
00:50That's allowing the warm sun to melt the snow.
00:54Temperatures are rising above freezing, 33 degrees Fahrenheit right now, so the historic bomb cyclone,
01:01the biggest since 1989 to hit this region, is way off to the northeast, and we have high pressure building in.
01:08Classic steel blue skies of this region out here, so very clear skies up there.
01:14Beautiful day, enjoying the reflective snow out here.
01:17That's why I've got these shades on as well.
01:20Looking at the long range, should have continued melting for a while,
01:25and then it looks like possibly around mid-February we could have a pattern shift,
01:30and we might be watching for maybe some severe weather across portions of the southeastern Great Plains into the mid-south.
01:36But thank you for following my weather reports out here during the bomb cyclone.
01:41Stay tuned to AccuWeather for the latest on the forecast.
