Can’t remember a January with this much, practically non-stop snowfall? There’s a good reason for that, Chicago.
Though just less than a half inch of snow fell at O’Hare Thursday afternoon, it was enough to make January 2014 the third snowiest on the books in the city’s history, the Chicago Tribune reports.
