An arctic cold front pushed into the Mid-South during the day on March 2nd, 2014. Precipitation was slow to move out as the front stalled along the Interstate 40 corridor. Thunder occurred and heavy rain produced some flash flooding. The fast intruding airmass changed the rain to freezing rain, sleet and snow by the evening across much of West Tennessee. Major ice accumulations of a quarter to a half inch of ice occurred across Northwest Tennessee.  Between two to five inches of sleet fell across the same area. Further south, along the Interstate 40 corridor, a sharp gradient occurred due to the location of the front. Temperatures dropped to 30-31 degrees immediately behind the front while just south of the front temperatures remained between 32-33 degrees. As a result, areas that dropped below freezing saw up to a quarter inch of ice and up to 3 inches of sleet. The areas that stayed 32 degrees saw only a trace up to a tenth of an inch of ice, sleet, or snow. This resulted in big differences between accumulations in some counties. For example, Shelby Forest in Northwest Shelby County received a quarter of an inch of ice and up to 2 inches of sleet while Germantown in Southeast Shelby County saw only trace amounts of ice in the trees. 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. Power lines and trees fell due to heavy ice accumulations as well resulting in major power outages. Some structural damage occurred such as roofs collapsing due to the weight of the ice and sleet.
