Winter Storm in Madison, Arkansas

A strong upper level disturbance translated from far west Texas through the Southern Plains on the 24th and 25th. Precipitation began as rain across the area during the morning of the 24th, but changed to snow during the afternoon and evening. Some of the snow was heavy at times, resulting in a swath of snow from four to ten inches across much of northwestern Arkansas. The heavy, wet snow snapped tree limbs onto power lines, and resulted in widespread power outages.
