Anybody in Chicago in 1967 for the biggest snowstorm ever recorded

Severe snowstorms are relatively frequent in Chicago

Chicago's snowstorm of 1967 the snow started falling at 5:02 a.m. Thursday January 26.
Snow continued to fall through Friday morning for a total accumulation of 23 inches, with drifts to 6 feet.

Then in 1979....

The Blizzard of 1979 started on Friday night January 12 and lasted until 2 a.m. Sunday January 14. On top of a 7-10 inch base left over from a New Year's Eve blizzard, 20.3 inches of new snow fell--setting a record for total snow on the ground.
