Freezing rain and sleet began moving into Lawrence County Thursday night and spread across the county covering roads and bridges with an inch-thick layer of ice before changing to snow on Friday morning.

The National Weather Service issued a severe winter storm warning for all of Northeast Arkansas on Wednesday with predictions of heavy snowfall and driving winds. According to the NWS conditions were right for a major snowfall with a low pressure system moving into the area bringing abundant moisture on the heals of a Canadian cold front that lowered temperatures to around freezing on Thursday evening.
