*Here are pictures from around the area of Western Arkansas.

Most of the pictures below were from Northern Johnson county and

Southern Newton County. Elevation played a big role in the amount of

Ice that was accumulated. Ice was even quite variable at the same

elevations at different locations. Most of the severe ice accumulations

(greater than 1/2 inch) were above about 1300 feet. Locations I visited

above 2000 feet had ice accumulations of at least 1 inch with isolated areas near 2 inches.  At the locations with 2 inches - at least 90% of all trees were either down or had their tops broken off.*
