CHICAGO — Plenty of city residents braved the conditions over the weekend, when the city recorded its most substantial snowfall since 2021.
Chicago saw 8.7 inches of snow fall at O’Hare Airport by noon Sunday, with 8.4 of those inches falling on Saturday. That makes Saturday the snowiest single calendar day in November for the Chicago area, according to the National Weather Service.
The previous record for single-day snowfall in November was 8 inches recorded on Nov. 6, 1951. This weekend’s snowfall was also the most in the area since nearly 11 inches fell on Jan. 30-31, 2021, according to the weather service.
At least 1,300 flights at O’Hare and Midway airports were canceled due to the storm, according to NBC Chicago.
