The storm center passed right over this Arkansas County; Newton. We first received, as posted yesterday, almost 3″ of rain; then it starting around noon to a quick changeover; it began first a higher elevations of the Boston Mountains and finally down to ~1000 feet. It was a wet snow with big flakes but was first we got an hour of ice and sleet. I drove out this morning around 8 AM to get a few photos, using a Canon 1DS Mark III Full Frame and a 17-40 Canon f/4 at f/4 zoom:
I was there this weekend. Drove right through all that mess, just south of Jasper, and for another 30 miles, it was sleet and snow. Out of the blue, since it wasn’t supposed to do much. Gonna be up there in a couple of weekends. I’m thinking that floating will be fantastic if it’s warm enough.
Sam, it was a wet and messy weekend; but we did need the rain (and snow). Steve
