Episodes
A low pressure system tracked across North Mississippi during the overnight hours of February 15th, 2015. Arctic air was already in place across much of the Mid-South. As a result, precipitation fell as either freezing rain, sleet, or snow. Precipitation began as freezing rain or sleet during the early morning hours of February 16th and continued into the afternoon. By the late afternoon hours, freezing rain and sleet transitioned to snow across extreme Northwest Mississippi. Anywhere from a tenth of an inch up to around a half inch of ice fell from Tunica over to Corinth northward. Trace amounts of snow accumulated. Roads became hazardous resulting in numerous accidents. Numerous trees and power lines fell causing power outages. The precipitation tapered off by the early evening hours of February 16th.
An upper level disturbance moved through the Mid-South January 15th into January 16th, 2013. Temperatures remained near or below freezing following another upper level disturbance that moved through on January 14th, 2013. As a result, precipitation from the disturbance that moved through on January 15th and 16th fell predominately in the form of freezing rain. Ice accumulations of a tenth to a quarter inch fell in many locations. However, most of the accumulations occurred on trees and power lines. Some of which were knocked down. Roads remained wet due to warm ground temperatures. Only bridges and overpasses became iced over due to them being elevated.
