We got about 7-8 inches a week ago and then it snowed for 24 hours straight in Chicago (Saturday night through Sunday night), which dropped another 10 inches or so. My kids loved it....I went out 3 times to snowblow and shovel the driveway and sidewalks, and I was exhausted by Sunday night. I honestly spent almost my entire day on Sunday working on cleaning up snow, as it kept dumping more.
