Wider weather episode

As an Arctic air mass moved south through Louisiana, light to moderate precipitation was quick to freeze as it fell through the cold surface air. Locations in northeast Louisiana to the north of Interstate 20 received over one quarter to one half inch of accumulating sleet, and the Oak Grove area measured up to 2 inches of mostly sleet. Some light snow and freezing rain fell as well. Area roads were impacted by slick conditions due to the glaze of ice and accumulated sleet.
