Monday’s snowfall broke daily records in both Dayton and Cincinnati, the National Weather Service in Wilmington announced.

In Dayton, a record snowfall of 3.6 inches fell, breaking the old record for Nov. 10 of 0.2 inches set 65 years ago in 1960.

In Cincinnati, 2.1 inches of snow was measured, breaking the previous record for the day of 0.3 inches, set 77 years ago back in 1948.

Monday’s snow storm brought as much as 4 inches reported at communities across the Miami Valley and led to snow emergencies declared in Montgomery and Warren counties.

NWS meteorologists previously said that the snow, the first of the season, was a little early but still within a normal time frame for this area.

The earliest autumn snow the NWS recorded was a storm on Oct. 18-19, 1989, when a freak snowstorm dropped 5 inches.
