Temperatures were gradually rising across the U.S. South, bringing hopes that the remaining snow and ice would melt away.

State transportation officials are asking for public input into the replacement of six bridges in the Upstate, including one in Spartanburg County which has been closed since May.

Officials are still tallying up snowfall totals that could set new records in states like Florida. Savannah, Georgia, recorded 3 inches of snow, which is the most the city has seen since 1989.
