The Chicago area finally got its first snowfall of the season on Sunday.
And Mother Nature held nothing back, leaving more than 8 inches of snow for some towns and going down in the record books as the largest first snowfall of the season for Chicago. The 6.1 inches of snow recorded at O’Hare Airport on Sunday beat the previous first snowfall record of 4.6 inches set back in 1964, according to the National Weather Service.
