News Summary

On January 21, 2025, Winter Storm Enzo transformed Myrtle Beach into a winter wonderland, bringing up to 6 inches of snow, the highest in 25 years. The storm led to school closures and hazardous road conditions, with residents enjoying the surprising winter scenery. Cleanup efforts are ongoing, but the community’s spirit shines as families engage in winter activities.

Winter Storm Enzo Strikes Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Well folks, it finally happened! Myrtle Beach has seen its fair share of sunshine and sandy beach days, but it was a totally different scene on the night of January 21, 2025, when Winter Storm Enzo decided to pay a visit. What started as a light dusting soon turned into a snow lover’s dream, as flurries blanketed the area into the early hours of January 22. Who could have imagined that our coastal paradise would become a winter wonderland?

A Snow Day to Remember

Residents woke up to quite the surprise on Wednesday morning with reports of up to 6 inches of snow in some areas like Carolina Forest, Loris, and Aynor. Myrtle Beach itself got hit with about 5 to 6 inches of the fluffy stuff, making it the highest snow total we’ve seen in the past 25 years! Can you believe it? This is the first measurable snowfall in Horry County since January 2022. It’s safe to say folks aren’t used to this kind of weather around here, but it sure brought some excitement!

Historic Rankings

The snowfall has officially tied for the fifth-snowiest storm in Myrtle Beach’s history since record keeping began back in 1940. To put that into perspective, the last time we saw anything comparable was on January 26, 2000. So, it looks like Enzo is making quite the mark! Many residents couldn’t help but head out to enjoy the unexpected winter fun.

Driving Dilemmas

However, not all was rosy with this winter storm. The roads quickly became a risky game of dodgeball, with hazardous driving conditions due to ice and slush. Local law enforcement urged folks to stay off the roads unless it was absolutely necessary. For those who had to venture out, a word of caution was echoed—drive carefully!

Schools and Services Respond

In the midst of the snowfall chaos, Horry County Schools took action, canceling in-school classes and shifting to online learning through January 23, 2025. Not to be left out, Horry-Georgetown Technical College switched to remote instruction too, keeping disruptions to a minimum. City facilities in Myrtle Beach closed their doors due to the storm, but they have since planned to reopen on a delayed schedule. Talk about a snow day!

Cleanup Efforts Underway

As the storm eased, public services got busy catching up on delays, especially in trash collection. It seems like everyone had some extra time to devote to cleaning up after the winter wonderland! There were reports of minor power outages in the area, but thanks to the quick responses from utility companies, disruptions were managed without major issues.

Community Spirit Shines

Municipalities all across the region jumped into action to assess their emergency responses. In Conway, for example, officials coordinated with the South Carolina Department of Transportation to treat critical roadways, ensuring emergency access remained available. While many businesses temporarily closed their doors, residents seized the moment; families went sledding, built snowmen, and snapped pictures of the delightful snow-covered landscapes.

Staying Informed

The National Weather Service kept everyone in the loop, providing ongoing updates and advisories on road safety and weather conditions following the storm. With emergency declarations in place, local municipal and utility services executed their emergency response plans with efficiency.

So, there you have it! Myrtle Beach has experienced a *historic winter storm* that residents won’t soon forget. As the snow melts away, it’s a good time to reflect on how much we love our sunny shores—though a little snow now and then adds some excitement to life! Here’s hoping for a warm-up soon, but for now, let’s embrace the memories of a magical Myrtle Beach snowfall.
