Welcome to the January 28, 2026, update from Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. Join Dennis Simpson as we take a deep dive into “Snow-Apocalypse 2026.” We’re out in the Toyota 4WD checking the status of our primary arteries, including the West Gate, Desoto, Carmona, and the treacherous Barcelona Road.
We have exclusive drone footage of the West Gate and Lake Desoto, plus a boots-on-the-ground (and wheels-on-the-ice) look at which roads are “skating rinks” and which are clearing up.
