Blizzard Ends; Sets Records

The Super Bowl (or SuperSnow Sunday) Blizzard of 2015 is in the books and we set all kinds of records. By the time the snow was all said and done early this morning, Chicago O'Hare received 19.3", which is now the 5th biggest snowstorm in Chicago history. Other records from this storm:

1. The 16.2" on February 1st was the most snow in a single calendar day in the month of February and the 4th most single calendar day snow in Chicago history. (The most is 18.6" on January 2nd, 1999).
2. The 0.87" liquid equivalent was a record for the date of February 1st, surpassing the old record of 0.77" set on February 1 of 2011.
3. The 19.3" storm total at O'Hare now ranks 5th on the all time list and is the most since the Groundhog Day Blizzard of 2011 which fell on the exact same days as this storm.
