Snowfall totals: See how much snow Chicago got compared to rest of U.S.

The Chicago area was hammered by snow over the weekend, but how did it compare to the rest of the United States?

The city itself was hit by lake-enhanced snow showers late Saturday and well into the day Sunday, with the Loop and several other neighborhoods seeing significant accumulations.

Those accumulations prompted a winter storm warning to be issued for Cook County, and similar warnings were issued in Indiana’s Lake, Porter and LaPorte counties as the lake-effect snow bands shifted toward the south and east.

While the Chicago area saw its primary accumulations because of that lake enhancement, other parts of the U.S. were hit hard by Winter Storm Fern, which cut a swath across the country from the Rocky Mountains all the way to New England.

Places like Boston and New York received more than a foot of snow, while record snowfall was recorded in locations like Cincinnati, Ohio, according to the National Weather Service.
