LEXINGTON, S.C. (WIS) – One family made a four-hour drive from Florida to the Midlands on Saturday to catch a glimpse of snow.
Justin Mak told WIS his family made their way up from Jacksonville to downtown Lexington so his children could experience a little bit of winter.
“We found there was a winter storm coming. These guys [his children] are always begging me to see snow,” he said. “We see the beach and the sand all the time, and that’s kind of normal for us. But seeing snow is not as normal. When I found out it was going to be close by…it’s only a four-hour drive. We got a hotel room last night and just to come up here to see it.”
