Chicago Snowstorm Pictures 2016: Photos, Snowfall Totals And Flight Cancellations Details

Winter storm Caly dumped snow on Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and eight other states Sunday as it made its way across the Midwest. The two-day snowstorm caused more than 1,000 flights to be canceled at O’Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport in Chicago. Both airports reported about seven inches of snow.

Redwood Falls, Minnesota, saw the heaviest snowfall with a total of 12.1 inches, while suburbs in Illinois and Indiana accumulated three to eight inches. More than half a foot fell in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. A plane landing at Detroit’s Metropolitan Wayne County Airport Sunday skidded off the runway and into a nearby grassy area due to the snow. The band OneRepublic missed a show in Las Vegas after their flight out of Chicago was canceled Sunday afternoon.

The storm was more than 1,000 miles long and made its way into the Northeast Sunday night. New York’s Central Park, LaGuardia Airport and JFK International Airport all reported visible snow. Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories were in effect Monday for parts of the lower Great Lakes, the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast.

In Minnesota, 882 crashes and 409 vehicle spin outs occurred from 9 a.m. Saturday to 4 p.m. Sunday. Ninety-two people were injured but nobody was killed, according to local station KARE.

“The ramps and side streets are going to be snow covered and probably more of a challenge so you need to take your time,” said Kevin Gutknecht of the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

The storm began Thursday and headed into the upper Midwest and lower Great Lakes Region Saturday. The snow left behind below freezing temperatures in the Midwest Monday and road conditions in Chicago and surrounding areas were expected to be dangerous. A map of the area posted by the Illinois Department of Transportation showed patches of snow and ice in upper Illinois and Michigan.

“If you don’t have to drive or go somewhere, stay home,” National Weather Service meteorologist Mark Steinwedel said.
