With a very cold atmosphere already in place, an upper level storm system moved out of the Texas Hill Country and into Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas and Northwest Louisiana during the afternoon hours of February 11th.  Precipitation became widespread across the region late in the afternoon and especially during the overnight hours of February 11th and the 12th.  During the onset of precipitation, a mixture of rain and sleet was the predominant precipitation type with some sleet accumulations exceeding one inch across portions of Northwest Louisiana.  There was even a brief transition of moderate snow across portions of the region as well. During the evening and overnight hours of the event, the transition turned to predominantly freezing rain with some hefty accumulations noted across the region.  Ice accumulations of one quarter of an inch were common across much of Northwest Louisiana with totals of one half inch common across some parishes in Northeast Louisiana.  These higher ice accumulation totals were noted across Union, Lincoln, Ouachita, Jackson and Caldwell Parishes.  Impacts included numerous automobile accidents, downed trees and powerlines as well as thousands without power across the northern half of the state.
