Looking at Krakatoa/Krakatau this evening ... the volcano is at time ejecting material with such force that even at the top of the troposphere the material is spreading out in all directions. This is causing a bowing structure where this works against the upper level wind.

It's not typical for an Alberta Clipper storm to bring snow to #SCwx . Usually the storm doesn't dive far enough south or there's not enough available moisture for much precip. But, the weather pattern will be favorable this weekend, so it's a reasonable possibility this time.

The 'favorable weather pattern' is found at the jet stream level. The key for #SCwx is the PNA, which has been strongly negative and bringing a strong upper ridge to the Southeast, keeping SC unseasonably warm. But, it has turned positive, allowing a turn to colder and stormier.
