If that snowstorm felt unusual for this time of the year, it was.

Saturday was the snowiest November day ever recorded in Chicago, according to the National Weather Service.

The storm dumped over 8 inches of snow on parts of the city. O’Hare International Airport got 8.4 inches as of Sunday morning, and Midway had 6 inches, forecasters said.

But the storm isn’t over yet.

The area’s winter weather advisory was extended from 6 a.m. to noon Sunday.

“A band of snowfall is moving across Chicago, bringing a quick coating of snow again,” Weather Service meteorologist Zachary Yak said. “We will be done with this storm system around noon.”

Saturday was the snowiest November day since Nov. 6, 1951, which saw 8 inches, Yak said. The 8.4-inch count also broke the daily snowfall record for Nov. 29. The previous record was set in 1942 with 3 inches of snow.

Travelers both on the road and in the air were impacted by the storm.

Nearly 500 car crashes happened on Chicago-area expressways from 5 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Saturday, according to the Illinois State Police.

State troopers responded to 480 crashes, and 66 of them caused injuries. Troopers also helped about 300 motorists who called for assistance on the road, according to state police.
