A major winter storm swept through the Ohio Valley from January 24–26, 2026, bringing record-breaking snowfall, sleet, and ice. Snowfall totals of 6 to 13 inches were reported across southern Indiana and northern Kentucky, while central and eastern Kentucky saw damaging ice accumulations ranging from 0.20” to 0.89”.

Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport recorded 9.2 inches of snow on Sunday, January 24, setting a new daily snowfall record and breaking the previous mark of 5.8 inches from January 25, 2004.

Dangerously cold wind chills are expected to linger across the Greater Cincinnati area for the rest of the week, with temperatures remaining below freezing well into next week as winter’s grip holds on.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to our employees working in these frigid conditions. Your dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to safety do not go unnoticed and are truly valued.
