Winter Storm in Stone, Arkansas

Ten inches of snow was measured in and around Mountain View and Onia.

A major winter storm brought heavy wet snow to the northwest half of Arkansas. Under the extreme weight of this snow, trees and powerlines were knocked down, putting over 100,000 Arkansans in the dark. The greatest of impacts were located across the higher elevations of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains. Snowfall amounts of 6 to 12 inches were common with several locations receiving more than one foot. A heavy cold rainfall was noted over the southeastern half of Arkansas.
