We hope everyone is safe and as comfortable as possible, considering the current conditions for most of Arkansas.
The sports desk is in Northwest Arkansas today, where we have power, heat and not snowflake in the air or on the ground. We got lucky, or unlucky, depending on your perspective. From our point of view, we missed a white Christmas, which would have been the first of our lives, but we gained safe travel and internet access.
We will update posts as we can, but will certainly share winter weather pictures and information here as we get them. If you want to send us picture of what you’re seeing weather-wise, from the sledding to downed trees, tag us on Facebook or Twitter.
Stay safe, and have as much fun as you can.
Governor Beebe has issued a statewide disaster declaration in the wake of Tuesday's storm. http://t.co/6FrYAxpq
