Little Rock shatters 127-year-old snow record as winter storm batters Arkansas with snow, ice

Arkansas bore the early brunt of the sprawling winter storm that's expected to impact more than 40 states through the weekend. By early Saturday, some roads were blanketed by hazardous travel conditions. Little Rock recorded 6.0 inches of snow by Saturday morning, shattering the previous daily record for snowfall of 4.0 inches set back in 1899. Ashley Luningham, Public Information Officer for the Arkansas Division of Emergency Management, told FOX Weather that state police have already helped drivers who were stranded earlier Saturday and detailed the other ways the state is prepared for the historic system.
