Chicago WX Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Obviously I don't know jack about central IL climo because those records look uber lame. Especially Peoria's. Both are not very snowy places, relatively speaking. It's kind of the land of nickels and dimes...though recent winters have had some bigger dogs. One example...Springfield shattered their biggest snowstorm on record with the March 24-25, 2013 storm (18.5" at SPI). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the November 30, 2006 heartbreaker storm also nailed those places pretty nicely. With Chicago's record around 90" I guess I didn't expect to see an almost 40" decline within 100 miles.

Springfield had 6.2", but it was a lot of mix. I think the Lake helps Chicago, where places in central IL are land-locked...sort of speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Well ... FINALLY. Yesterday's lake effect storm was finally enough to squeak CLE into the top ten snowiest list at number 9.
