CINCINNATI — Cincinnati set a record for daily snowfall Monday as a strong winter storm swept through.
According to the National Weather Service, a record snowfall of 4.2 inches was measured in the city Monday. This breaks the old record of 3.5 inches set in 1981.
Cincinnati's two-day total was recorded at 10.6 inches, according to the NWS.
The area was blanketed in more than a half-foot of snow thanks to the winter storm that began Sunday.
The National Weather Service initially reported Monday morning they'd measured 8.4 inches that fell at CVG airport on Sunday; the NWS later amended that amount to 6.4 inches.
Had the initial total been correct, it would have broken the daily snowfall record of 6.9 inches last set in 1977; however, the new amount released after 7 a.m. Monday, meaning the storm actually fell just short of breaking the record.
The area that has seen the most snowfall so far is in Cleves, with a reported 11 inches on the ground.
These are the storm total snowfall values through 1pm: Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport total: 10.4 inches, John Glenn Columbus International Airport total: 4.3 inches, Dayton International Airport total: 6.7 inches, Wilmington, Ohio NWS total: 8.7 inches.
