11/13/18 Update: According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, the observed snowfall at the Columbia Regional Airport was incorrectly communicated to them. The snowfall total for Columbia will be written in record books as 1.4", not 2.4" as was first reported. 

COLUMBIA - In the past five days Columbia has broken three records, two for daily snowfall and one for a daily low temperature. On Thursday, November 8 a record 1.5" of snow fell, breaking the previous record of 0.3" from 1943. Next, on the morning of Saturday, November 10 a low temperature of 16-degrees broke the previous 1926 record of 18-degrees. A few days later another snow system moved through and that brought 2.4" of snowfall accumulation, shattering the 0.2" record from 1911. 

Three records have been broken in the past 5 days.
