Snow, ice possible Sunday night into Monday

More winter weather could be headed through York, Chester and Lancaster counties to start the week.

The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, which covers western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina, has issued a winter storm warning from Sunday night through Monday.

A leading edge of Arctic high pressure entered the Carolinas on Saturday afternoon, producing bitter wind chills across the area.

As moisture accumulates Sunday, the cold air is expected to produce snowfall overnight Sunday, turning to sleet and freezing rain through the day Monday. Temperatures are not expected to get above the mid-30s during this period.

The weather service expects snow could accumulate up to an inch, which combined with the threat of ice, sleet and rain could make driving conditions perilous.

The National Weather Service offered these tips for dealing with the freeze:

▪  If you go outside, wear several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing rather than one layer of heavy clothing. mittens are warmer than gloves. Wear a hat and cover your mouth with a scarf. If driving, keep your gas tank near full to avoid ice in the tank and fuel lines.

▪  Consider allowing indoor plumbing fixtures to drip to allow water to trickle through pipes and inhibit freezing. Use caution with space heaters in order to avoid fire or injury. If emergency generators will be used, they must be situated outdoors in well ventilated ares to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

▪  Remember to check in on family, friends and elderly neighbors who might be susceptible to the cold. Do not forget about your pets and livestock. Make sure they have a source of water that will not freeze and a warm place to take shelter from the wind and cold.

▪  Cold weather will result in high demand for electricity across the region. Power outages may result from the heavy electrical load. Those who require electricity for heating or medical equipment should consider backup heat or electrical sources.
