What happened

The episode as NWS LZK wrote it up.

Arctic air was in place over Arkansas as an area of low pressure aloft moved in from the west. Light snow resulted, especially in western Arkansas. Although accumulations were generally 1/2 inch or less, roads were cold, so the snow caused some hazardous driving conditions.
