A rare event.A 3 foot snowfall (Offiicial 24 inches) in the year March 1973.Sumter,South Carolina.The official count was 24 inches;but around home several days before this was filmed we had a good 3 feet.And some places had drifts up to 5 feet.What was surprising;the weather man said that it would not stick.Well the rest is history.

I lived in Sumter when this happened. I always remember this when it snows. I was a little girl at the time. I remember it was so hard to walk in and it came up to all my legs. I remember climbing on our roof top and jumping off into the snow. What fun it was for us children.

WOW, I am amzed at the video of something so close to my childhood. I lived in Bishopville at the time of this storm. I was 12 and ended up moving to Sumter in late 74. But what I remember most about this storm was the 10-11 inches of sleet we recieved prior to it turning to snow then dumping around 15-16 inches on top of the sleet. No city was prepared for something like this. We were at a standstill for so many days. I was out of school for over two weeks. What a vacation.

I'm from Charlotte ,N.C. and lived in Sumter,S.C. and my husband told me of this snow storm. He speaks of it alot , especially when the weather man says anything about snow. No, Sumter, S.C. has never really gotten that much snow here, since I've been here and I've been here for about 33yrs.wow.So thanks for posting it really happened.lol

Wow, this is amazing! My dad was stationed at Shaw at the time, and we have pictures of my parents and 3-year-old me with the 8-foot snowman they built. They crowned him "Julius Snowman" with leaves from a tree in our yard. :-D
