| Episode Narrative |
A strong upper level low pressure system moved from Baja California into the Southern Rockies on the 28th and into the Southern Plains on the 29th. Rain changed to freezing rain and sleet during the morning and early afternoon of the 28th. The freezing rain resulted in 1/4 to 3/4 of an inch of glaze across much of northwest Arkansas. As the upper low neared the region on the 29th, the precipitation changed to snow with more than 4 inches falling generally north of a McAlester to Fort Smith line. Up to 8 inches of snow fell across portions of northwest Arkansas by the evening of the 29th. Many automobile accidents occurred across the area as a result of the icy conditions, which resulted in numerous indirect injuries. |
| Event Narrative |
One quarter to three quarters of an inch of glaze occurred along with six to eight inches of snow. |
