What happened
The episode as NWS LZK wrote it up.
An area of low pressure aloft moved across northern Arkansas on the evening of the 12th and early on the morning of the 13th. Light snow occurred in parts of northern Arkansas. Accumulations were smaller than they would have been otherwise, due to marginal temperatures near the ground. Most amounts were only 1/2 to 1 inch, but some of the highest elevations picked up 2 to 4 inches of snow.
