Colder air began spilling into Arkansas from the northwest on the 28th as Arctic high pressure approached. Then, a low pressure system approached the state from the northwest. This low pressure caused moisture from the Gulf of Mexico to overrun the cold air near the ground. An area of freezing rain and sleet moved southward, beginning in northern Arkansas during the late afternoon and evening of the 28th, progressing through central Arkansas on the morning of the 29th, and reaching into parts of southern Arkansas by the afternoon of the 29th. Most of the northern two-thirds of the state picked up at least 0.10 to 0.25 inch of freezing rain. The heaviest freezing rain, 0.50 to 0.75 inch, occurred in an arc from near Hot Springs to Pine Bluff and Stuttgart and then on to south of Clarendon. About 30,000 power outages resulted. As the cold air deepened near the ground, precipitation began changing over to snow. Over the northern two rows of counties in Arkansas, snow accumulations of 8 to 12 inches were common. Farther to the south, 4 to 8 inches accumulated as far south as Russellville and Searcy, with 2 to 4 inches as far south as Waldron, Perryville, and Beebe. Through the middle of the state, 1 to 2 inches of snow fell as far south as Mena, Hot Springs, Little Rock, and Clarendon. All precipitation came to an end by the early morning hours of the 30th.
