		The shallow freezing layer was from the surface to 3,000 feet with the coolest temperature at 2,100 feet at around 23 degrees Fahrenheit.

		Further north, across the Red River Valley of northeast Texas, southeast Oklahoma, and southwest Arkansas, the freezing layer at the surface was larger (more depth) so the liquid droplets had time to freeze into sleet.
