Winter Blast rocks Northeast Arkansas - The first of what is expected to be two or even three rounds of winter weather rolled through the state Monday evening into early Tuesday. The first front began with rain which turned into freezing rain and sleet overnight. The winter storm left icy and slick roads all across the region. The winter blast caused the cancellation of athletic events Monday and Tuesday, closed schools and made travel hazardous. A second round of winter weather was expected to hit the area late Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday. (Left) Gosnell Tuesday morning,
