Low pressure approaching from the west caused moisture from the Gulf of Mexico to ride up over cold air at ground level in Arkansas on the 21st. Central and southern Arkansas received mainly a cold rain, through some sleet was mixed in at times. The situation was much more complicated in northern Arkansas, where a relatively brief mixture of rain, sleet, and snow changed over to all snow during the evening of the 21st. A Winter Storm occurred in Baxter, Fulton, Izard, and Sharp counties, where snowfall totals exceeded 4 inches. In the area around Salem (Fulton Co.), amounts were in the 6 to 10 inch range. Mammoth Spring (Fulton Co.) measured 7 inches, while totals around Gassville (Baxter Co.), Hardy (Sharp Co.), and Melbourne (Izard Co.) reached 6 inches. In the Mountain Home area (Baxter Co.), totals were in the 4 to 6 inch range. Elsewhere across northern Arkansas, most snowfall totals ranged from 1 to 3 inches, except for a few greater amounts at the higher elevations. During the wee hours of the 22nd, most of the snow changed over to areas of freezing rain, but accumulations of ice were minimal. By dawn on the 22nd, most precipitation had changed to rain.
