If you totaled all of the snow that has fallen in Chicago since records began, how much would you end up with? ( thanks for the question Ed Berling from Lockport ) whoever u are!

124 years of tracking 4,536.9 inches of snow. Over 124 years that 378 feet of snow equates to 36.5 " per year. So how does 2008 stack up

once again I lean on Tom Skillings weather intellect.
