ROCKY BOTTOM, S.C. - South Carolina may be setting new weather records soon.

 

The state now has a weather station atop South Carolina's highest point on
Sassafras Mountain in northern Pickens County.

 

The State newspaper reported (http://bit.ly/1wpQ0wF) the automated weather
station will provide important information about weather in the South
Carolina mountains.

 

The new station in Sassafras Mountain was one degree colder Jan. 8 than the
other mountain station at Caesar's Head.

 

The station hit minus 1 degree with a wind chill of minus 19 that day. The
station recorded wind chills below zero from Jan. 7-10.

 

State Climatologist Hope Mizzell says she's getting the first dependable
wind speed data from the mountains. The Caesar's Head station does not
measure winds.
