A major winter storm affected much of central and southern Arkansas from the 24th through the 25th.  Precipitation began moving into western Arkansas late in the afternoon on the 24th, overspread the rest of the area and ended early in the morning on the 25th.  A mixture of freezing rain, sleet and snow fell over the southern third of the state.  Snowfall amounts in this area were on the order of an inch or two.  A wide swath of snow and sleet occurred across the central third of the state.  Snowfall amounts were mostly in the range of 4 to 8 inches, but isolated (unofficial) amounts of 8 to 12 inches were reported from east of Mena to Jessieville, Perryville and Mayflower. Very hazardous driving conditions resulted from the wintry precipitation, with numerous traffic accidents reported during the height of the storm.
