...SNOWFALL REPORTS...
A third round of heavy snowfall impacted Southcentral between the 
afternoon of December 14th and the morning of December 15th. This snowfall 
was produced as a tropical moisture plume spread northward and combined
with an upper-level disturbance transitioning across the state. The bulk 
of the snowfall arrived late Wednesday afternoon and continued through 
Thursday morning. Unlike the last two snow events, snow fell in a more 
uniform manner. Below is a list of storm snowfall reports we received 
for this event.
