does anyone around arkansas beardies brumate this time of year. Most places get cold around december but here like at the moment its a snow storm and I need to know hoe to handle this she has been sleeping all day now and ate nothing yesterday

It doesn't really depend on where you are but if your healthy adult beardie starts sleeping during a period of cold temps. it's perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

do i turn on lights like normal and still offer the greens like normal? should i bump up my temps a little? she came back out today but it is late in the year for that right?

Yes, if she is awake you can just carry on as usual. Sometimes they'll only sleep off + on, it's all fine because they are designed to do that in the wild during cold or extreme heat.
