MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - After snow fell throughout the Grand Strand and Pee Dee, residents woke up to cold start with some leftover snow on the ground Sunday morning.  Snow accumulations ranged from 1.5 to 2" of snow across the Pee Dee to a dusting to an inch of snow along the Grand Strand. 

Temperatures dropped below freezing last night, causing some icy patches in parking lots, on bridges and overpasses.
