The National Weather Service reported Thursday morning lows of 30 in Greenville-Spartanburg, 32 in Greenwood and 30 in notoriously cool Cedar Creek, in Richland County just south of the Fairfield County line.

The low at Columbia Metropolitan Airport was 33, while Hamilton-Owens Airport in downtown Columbia hit 39. The duration of freezing temperatures was short, which means minimal damage to vegetation.
