Watch snow conditions on Hilton Head from the comfort of your home

Editor’s note: This story was updated Sunday morning following the snowfall.

Snow has fallen in Hilton Head and given way to extreme cold on Sunday morning. The National Weather Service Charleston is warning of hazardous travel conditions, and the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office is advising people to stay safe and warm this weekend.

If you want to watch the snow aftermath without having to brave the record cold, there’s a way to do that from the comfort of your home. Livestream cameras are available online, so people can keep an eye on beach and road conditions throughout the day.

Here’s where to watch the scene on the ground as you lay on the couch under a blanket.
