In late January 1967, Chicago got hit with twenty-three inches of snow. That blizzard remains "the benchmark for all major snowstorms."

Suburban Chicago, January 27, 1967. It looks like I had a "snow day." What a mess.

A few years ago, Buffalo had a snowstorm that dumped 81 inches. As the mayor said, "that's a lot of snow, even for Buffalo."
