Parts of South Carolina are expected to be blanketed in snow and ice late Tuesday — and if you want to watch it unfold live from the comfort of your home, there are ways.

Ice, sleet, and snow are predicted to fall across the Midlands on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. The weather service warned that snow could impact roads along and south of I-20, with the highest likelihood of accumulation of 1 inch or more around the I-95 corridor in the lower half of the state.

Below freezing temperatures are also a concern for most of the week.

Hazardous snow and sleet are also expected in the coastal areas of the state, including Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head.

Watch storm with SC live webcams

For those who are curious, you don’t have to limit yourself to watching the snow from your window or through Instagram posts.

South Carolinians can watch the winter fallout live through a series of webcams. The South Carolina Department of Transportation has dozens of traffic cams on highways and interstates around the Midlands and the Upstate.
