A low pressure system developed over the Southern Plains during the late evening hours of December 14th, 2010. The system moved east into the Mid-South during the early morning hours of December 15th, 2010 and continued throughout the morning. Precipitation associated with the system fell in the form of freezing rain as temperatures had dropped to 32 degrees or just slightly below. Ice accumulations were generally less than a tenth of an inch and was mainly confined to elevated surfaces. However many bridges and overpasses became icy causing numerous accidents. The Mississippi Highway Patrol responded to over 50 car accidents in portions of Northeast Mississippi alone. Two accidents were fatal resulting in three deaths. At least 16 injuries occurred as well from car accidents. By afternoon, precipitation either tapered off or changed over to rain as temperatures rose to above freezing.
