Event narrative

The COOP observer in Memphis reported 3.0 inches.

Wider weather episode

A weaker winter storm moved into the area and added more ice and snow to the snow pack received the other day. This system moved in from the south and brought along a strong pull of warm air aloft. This led to a lot more ice accumulation than was expected prior to the event. Mainly freezing rain and sleet fell through most of the afternoon. This led to widespread ice accumulations of 0.10-0.25. Snow and sleet accumulations across northeast Missouri ranged from 2 to 3 inches.
