About Arkansas Winter Weather

Arkansas winter weather varies dramatically across the state. Across the 5 Arkansas cities covered by SnowSense™, average annual snowfall is 6 inches, ranging from 4 inches in Little Rock to 8 inches in Fayetteville.

School-closure thresholds track the regional snowfall climatology: districts in high-snowfall areas close only for major events, while low-snowfall districts close for smaller events that would be unremarkable elsewhere. Arkansas's district-level autonomy means nearby towns sometimes make different closure calls for the same storm.
