Chicago Records Snowiest November Storm in Over 100 Yearsby PHIL HELSEL Chicago recorded its second-heaviest snowfall during a single storm in November on Saturday as a burst of winter weather slammed the Midwest, causing hundreds of flights to be cancelled and others to be delayed. Saturday's snowfall of 11.2 inches recorded Friday and Saturday was beat only by a snowstorm ending on Nov. 26 in 1895 that saw 12 inches of snow fall, the National Weather Service said. Other parts of the Midwest were hit harder. The city of Tea in South Dakota, southeast of Sioux Falls, saw 18 inches; 16 inches were recorded near Bloomfield, Nebraska; Grayslake, Illinois, north of Chicago, got 16 inches of snow, according to the Weather Channel. In Delaware County, Indiana, a car crash that killed a 17-year-old passenger Saturday was blamed on slick roads from the weather, NBC affiliate WTHR reported. The Waukesha County, Wisconsin, sheriff's office reported that there were more than 60 accidents and 55 vehicles that went into ditches on Saturday, NBC affiliate TMJ reported. In Milwaukee County, there were more than 40 crashes and reports of around 30 disabled vehicles, according to the station. The snow storm over the Chicago area began winding down by 9 p.m. local time (10 p.m. ET), according to The Weather Channel.
