Winter Storm in Bolivar, Mississippi

Accumulations of sleet, light snow, light freezing rain fell across the county, with 3 inch accumulations of mostly sleet in Cleveland. Area roads were covered by sleet.

As an Arctic air mass moved south through Mississippi, light to moderate precipitation was quick to freeze as it fell through the cold surface air. Although light accumulations of freezing rain, and sleet fell across much of the state of Mississippi, more significant accumulations of sleet over one half inch fell primarily north and west of the Natchez Trace corridor. Accumulations of 2 to 3 inches of sleet were measured in the Greenville to Cleveland areas. Area roads were impacted by slick conditions due to the glaze of ice and accumulated sleet.
