Roads covered by ice and snow posed a challenge for most drivers in Little Rock.

The state highway department reported snow on all the interstates in the Little Rock area, and snow or heavy snow on most of the major thoroughfares around the rest of the state. In Little Rock, city streets were covered with snow and there were numerous reports of stuck cars and minor wrecks.

More than a foot of snow has fallen in areas of Northwest Arkansas, dealing yet another blow to the winter weary region. Cars were left abandoned on the side of the road, and 18-wheelers were having trouble navigating Interstate 540.
