Today (Thursday) marks the 67th anniversary of one of the worst snowstorms in Illinois history.  On Jan. 26-27, a massive snowstorm dumped 23 inches of snow on northern Illinois. The blizzard closed both airports in Chicago.  There were 10-foot drifts covering the runways at Midway.  It took the city of Chicago three weeks to plow all the streets of snow, as it did not warm up enough for the snow to melt away.  The NWS reported just two days before the storm hit, temperatures were in the 60s.
