What happened
The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
Another upper level disturbance moved across the Middle Red River Valley of Southeast Oklahoma, the northern half of Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas as well as portions of North Central Louisiana during the afternoon and evening hours of February 7th. This system overran an cold airmass at the surface and as a result, some light freezing rain mixed with sleet was reported across Union and Ouachita Parishes in North Central Louisiana. Ice amounts were near one tenth of an inch which resulted in a few slick spots across elevated bridges and overpasses.
