Winter in the Palmetto State can be a frustrating series of warmer weather days followed by frigid temps for days on end – and then back to warm weather. Honestly, if you don’t like the weather today, then just wait until tomorrow. The unpredictable nature of the winter season somewhat limits the kinds of activities you can plan in advance, unless you purposely plan for excursions that will work in either weather extreme.
