Heavy Snow in Issaquena, Mississippi

Heavy snow fell across the region. Accumulations of up to three and a half inches occurred in southern Issaquena County. The northern parts of the county saw around one to two inches of snow.

An upper level low pressure system moved across the region, while a surface low developed along the Gulf Coast and tracked east. Precipitation overspread the region, as temperatures were in the 30s. This resulted in a mix of sleet and snow for portions of the region until a transition to all snow. The highest snowfall accumulations were across eastern portions of Central Mississippi, where six to six and a half inches fell. Widespread two to four inches of snow fell across most of Central Mississippi and northeast Louisiana, generally along and north of the Natchez Trace corridor. Locations south of this, including portions of south central and southeast Mississippi received no snow or less than one inch of snow.
