An arctic cold front pushed into Northwest Tennessee during the evening of December 5th, 2013. Widespread rain was already occurring, due to the combination of abundant mid-level moisture, an enhanced upper level jet and an upper level disturbance moving through the area. As a result of the cold front, temperatures plummeted and turned rain over to freezing rain and sleet across Northwest Tennessee.  The wintry precipitation tapered off during the evening hours on December 6th, 2013. Total sleet amounts ranged from just a trace of sleet, roughly from a Memphis to Jackson line, to greater than one and a half inches across Lake County. Just southeast of the heavy sleet accumulations, a corridor of heavy ice accumulations occurred. The corridor, including locations such as Ripley, Dyersburg, Martin and Paris, received greater than a quarter inch of ice. South of this corridor, around a tenth of an inch of ice fell. The wintry precipitation created hazardous travel. However most of the accumulations occurred on trees, power lines, and elevated surfaces. As a result, a few trees and power lines fell due to the ice.
