It seems the frigid temps aren't the only thing historic about the weather these days. Yesterday's snowfall extended Chicago's streak of days with measurable snowfall to nine, tying the previous record. While some days saw very little snow (just one-tenth of an inch three days), the city saw 18 inches received those nine days - that's what she said - and it's still all piled up thanks to the cold. The streak looks to end today as we have pointlessly sunny skies.
