Hey the blizzard of 1979 isn't even in the top three? What gives?In the end, the great Blizzard of 2011 didn’t set a record — but still dumped 20.2 inches on the city, shut down schools, closed businesses and even major shopping malls, knocked out power to hundreds of thousands and left hundreds stranded on Lake Shore Drive.The total snowfall made it the third worst snowstorm on record, behind only blizzards in 1967 — when 23 inches blanketed the city — and 1999 — when 21.6 inches fell.“We are experiencing a storm of historic proportions . . . the likes of which we really haven’t seen in 20 or 30 years,” said Ray Orozco, Mayor Daley’s chief of staff.

Love the snow on the screen!
Thanks Cal. It is winter after all, so it's very fitting. Although in light of recent events it's almost like there is a blizzard on this blog. Thankfully this trick doesn't allow for accumulation that affects readability. :P
