This is the first major snowfall event of this season, but it's not the first record-breaking snowfall this year.
Back in January, after a strong winter storm swept through early in 2025, the NWS reported 4.2 inches of snow had been measured in Cincinnati, breaking the old Jan. 6 record of 2.5 inches set back in 1981.
That storm, which began Sunday and continued dropping snow into Monday, blanketed the region in roughly 10.6 inches total across the two days, according to the NWS.
