(26 Nov 2018) A wintry storm brought blizzard-like conditions to parts of the Midwest early Monday, grounding hundreds of flights and causing slick roads for commuters as they returned to work after the Thanksgiving weekend. The Chicago area was slammed with up to a foot (30 centimeters) of wet snow, and whiteout conditions stalled commuter traffic on the roads. The National Weather Service said 7.5 inches (19 centimeters) of snow fell at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and 4.9 inches (12.5 centimeters) fell at Midway International Airport. The Chicago Department of Aviation says 809 flights were canceled at O'Hare between midnight and around 10 a.m. Monday, after 700 flights at the airport were canceled Sunday. At Midway International Airport, where 123 flights were canceled on Sunday, another 69 flights had been canceled as of midnight.
