Wider weather episode

A strong surge of Arctic air invaded Deep East Texas during mid-January with bitterly cold temperatures and some light wintry mixed precipitation that began on the afternoon of January 14th and continued into January 15th. Overall, sleet accumulation totals were only around a tenth of an inch or less with isolated higher amounts likely in some areas along with some additional light freezing rain/ice accumulations.
