Cincinnati Doubles Previous Snowfall Record

Overnight, a blanket of snow settled into Cincinnati, with a lot of locations picking up about 4 inches.

The system has completely cleared the area, with the heaviest snowfall occurring between 2-5 a.m, according to WLWT.

Some spots picked up as much as 5 inches locally. Meanwhile, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport measured 4.3 inches, setting a new snowfall record for Dec. 2.

The snow, which started late Monday night, almost doubled the date’s prior record of 2.2 inches, which had stood since 1929, per WLWT. (RELATED: Northeast Will Be Colder Than Literally Anywhere Else On Earth, Climatologist Warns)

Very cold weather is expected to stick around into next week.

Refreezing is possible Tuesday night as temperatures drop way under freezing. They’re expected to plunge into the teens by the morning, with wind chills dipping to around 10° or lower into the single digits, according to WLWT.

Frosty air is expected through the remainder of this week. Highs will struggle to climb above freezing until the weekend approaches. Then, another system rolls in Sunday, bringing even more snow.
