Wider weather episode

The 11th started with areas of rain. Temperatures dropped like a rock during the afternoon, and rain changed to snow and sleet toward the Missouri border. As readings dipped well below freezing, some roadways became partly snow and ice covered. It was also breezy, with north to northwest winds at 15 to 25 mph and gusts over 30 mph.

There was not enough moisture for heavy snow, and a warm ground kept accumulations minimal. Snow fell on the 11th and 12th. In the end, Deer (Newton County) had two inches of flakes, with an inch of powder at Hardy (Sharp County), Pocahontas (Randolph County), and Salem (Fulton County).
