Chicago Blizzard 2011: Chicago is no stranger to blistering snow and wind during the winter months, but this time is different.

Daley referred to it as, “a storm of historic magnitude, the likes of which we have not seen in decades.”
According to the National Weather Service, the most snow Chicago has ever seen at one time was 44 years ago. On January 26, 1967 the city got pounded with 23 inches of snow over two days. The ten biggest snow storms on record range from 14 to 20 inches. Read More Chicago Blizzard 2011
