A stationary front which extended across northeast Texas and southwest Arkansas during the afternoon of March 6th separated much colder air across the middle Red River valley of northeast Texas, southeast Oklahoma and southwest Arkansas from a warm and humid airmass across the southern half of northeast Texas as well as northwest and north central Louisiana.  The front began to advance southward during the evening of March 6th allowing the colder airmass north of the front to spill southward during the overnight hours of March 6th and into the predawn hours of March 7th.  A strong upper level storm system moved eastward from the Texas Hill country overnight with rain transitioning into a brief period of sleet followed by moderate to heavy snow at times across the region.  Widespread one to three inches of snow was reported across the northern half of northeast Texas...southeast Oklahoma...southwest Arkansas as well as northwest and north central Louisiana late on March 6th and through the day on March 7th.  Heavier snow amounts were reported across the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains in northern McCurtain County Oklahoma.
