  • Chicago matches snowfall record with nine straight days of measurable snow

        There have been nine days in a row with “measurable snow” in Chicago as of     Sunday, matching a record. It’s only the third time the city has seen     nine days in a row of snow since the National Weather Service started     keeping records in 1885, according to the Tribune. Thankfully, the city isn’t expected to break the record—there should be no new snow     Monday. [Tribune]
