DeSoto County and the Mid-South saw an additional spot of snowfall Monday, as a system blew through the area.
Most areas saw just short of an inch of snow, but it was enough to make for slick roads, causing some accidents, and some enjoyable winter scenes the day after Christmas Day.
A Winter Weather Advisory was posted for the area Sunday evening to run overnight through 3 p.m. Monday. The system arrived during the day Monday left quickly enough that the advisory was canceled an hour early Monday afternoon.
Here’s some views on the day in DeSoto County, as seen from those using the Twitter social media site,
