The episode as NWS LZK wrote it up.
As an area of low pressure aloft approached from the west, snow began spreading into western Arkansas very early on the morning of the 8th. Precipitation spread rapidly eastward as the morning progressed. In northern Arkansas, snow fell. Through the middle of the state, snow fell, mixed with sleet at times. By afternoon, however, much of the precipitation in the middle of the state changed over to rain and sleet. In some areas, the wintry mix changed back to snow on the evening of the 8th. Farther south, rain predominated, mixed with a little sleet or snow at times. All precipitation diminished from the evening of the 8th into the early morning hours of the 9th.
Most places in the northern half of Arkansas received at least 3 to 6 inches of snow. In a band about 75 miles wide, centered along a line from Clarksville and Russellville across Greenbrier to between Augusta and Brinkley, snowfall amounts of 6 to 10 inches were common.
