| Episode Narrative |
A strong upper level storm system moved from the Southern Rockies into the Southern Plains on the 20th and 21st while a cold front moved across the area on the 19th and 20th. Precipitation formed over the region late on the 19th and changed over to snow from north to south on the 20th. Periods of snow, some heavy at times, continued into the afternoon and evening hours of the 21st as the storm exited the region to the east. Widespread four to six inch snows occurred over northwestern and west central Arkansas with up to 16 inches reported across portions of northwest Arkansas. Portions of Benton and Madison Counties received up to a foot of snow, thirteen inches of snow fell across portions of Carroll County, and up to sixteen inches fell across portions of Washington County. Roads were snow packed and very treacherous during and after the storm, resulting in numerous automobile accidents. |
