An arctic cold front pushed into the Mid-South during the day on March 2nd, 2014. Overrunning precipitation fell through a shallow arctic airmass which produced freezing rain, sleet and snow. Precipitation was slow to move out as the front stalled just east of the Mississippi River. Thunder also occurred at times with the precipitation. As a result, major ice accumulations of a quarter to three quarters of an inch of ice fell across East-Central Arkansas. Up to an inch of sleet fell on top of the ice. Meanwhile, further north across Northeast Arkansas, the fast intruding airmass changed freezing rain over to sleet and snow. Between two to five inches of sleet and snow fell across the area on top of a tenth to a quarter inch of ice. The winter precipitation tapered off during the early morning hours of March 3rd. The ice, sleet, and snow accumulations produced hazardous roads resulting in numerous accidents. One fatality and one injury occurred from one accident. Power lines and trees fell due to heavy ice accumulations as well resulting in major power outages. A few roofs collapsed due to the heavy accumulations as well including one gas station awning that injured three people.
