Snow in Central Arkansas during the Month of December does happen from time to time, but measurable snowfall is definitely the exception rather than the rule. The snow this week was the first measurable December snowfall in Little Rock since 2005, and this is now the snowiest December since 2004. This is actually the second snowfall for parts of the State this season, as several inches of snow accumulated across Northeast Arkansas following the Thanksgiving Holiday.
The Little Rock area has actually had more snow than parts of the Country that are used to heavy snowfalls. As of December 7th, Little Rock measured 1.6" of snow, that's more than Cleveland, Ohio and Buffalo, NY have had COMBINED so far this season!
