A significant winter storm brought a combination freezing drizzle, freezing rain, sleet and snow to the Missouri Ozarks January 26 and 27, 2009.  Freezing drizzle and light freezing rain developed area wide at the onset of the event causing multiple traffic accidents. Freezing rain persisted for much of the event across far southern Missouri resulting in significant ice accretion of one half to one inch.  This ice storm downed tree limbs and power lines causing numerous power outages. As many as 20,000 residences lost power along the Arkansas border from Branson to Alton. Sleet was the predominant precipitation type for much of the area with accumulations of 1 to 3 inches common.  As much as 6 inches of sleet fell across far south central Missouri. The weight of freezing rain and sleet across far southern Missouri caused the roofs of several buildings and a boat dock to collapse.  The sleet transitioned to snow toward the end of the event with 2 to 4 inches of snow common on top of the freezing rain and sleet.
