ARKANSAS, USA — Snow fell across the area on Sunday (Dec. 13), with Centerton receiving the largest amount, totaling 6.5 inches.
The last time Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley had significant snowfall was in 2015, so Sunday's snow provided many kids in our area with their first chance to experience the magic and wonder of playing in the snow.
First snowmen were built, first snowflakes were tasted and first snow angels were made.
Candice Spry shared this photo and said, "This is my 2.5-year-old daughter and I making our FIRST snowman! Glad we could share building our first snowman together!"
Many pet owners across the area got to watch their furbabies play in the snow for the first time too!
Zachary Vince Scott shared this photo of his dalmatian, Archibald, trying to figure out what it was all about in Springdale.
Backyards were transformed into winter wonderlands. Sara Huddleston Carter took this photo in Bella Vista on Sunday.
