Record‑breaking temperature plunge across Columbus and region On Saturday morning Columbus recorded a historic –9°F at John Glenn Airport, shattering the prior –6°F record set in 2004 [3][1]. Nearby stations in central and southern Ohio logged temperatures between –10°F and –19°F, with wind chills plunging to –30°F [3]. Meteorologist Aaron White highlighted the widespread sub‑zero readings as the coldest weekend in recent memory.

Snowpack reaches 8‑16+ inches, blanketing the state Accumulations of eight to more than sixteen inches fell across central Ohio, creating a deep snow cover that persisted statewide throughout the weekend [1][2]. The extensive snowpack reinforces the frigid air, limiting any rapid temperature recovery. Snow‑report data from the 10 Weather Impact team confirm the uniform depth across the region.

10 Weather Impact Alert Day prolonged due to hazardous conditions The alert, originally issued for Saturday, was extended through Sunday morning as temperatures remained in the low single digits and wind chills intensified [1][2]. Officials warned of frostbite risk and urged residents to limit outdoor exposure. The alert’s continuation reflects the severity of the combined cold and wind.

Arctic air from Canada stalls warming until next week Meteorologists forecast that the Canadian arctic air mass will keep daytime highs below 20°F through the weekend, preventing any rise into the 20s or 30s until the following week [1][2][3]. A gradual warm‑up is expected early next week, with highs climbing into the low 20s and near 30°F. The persistent cold front is expected to linger into mid‑February.
