Last winter many parts of the U.S. experienced record-breaking snowfall. In January, a monster winter storm took aim at a third of the nation. It laid a path of heavy snow and ice from the Rockies to New England, followed by a wave of bitter cold that affected millions of people. Cities including St. Louis, Kansas City, and Milwaukee were hit hard, with midweek snowfalls of up to two feet and drifts piled five to 10 feet high. And even hardy Chicago experienced its third-worst blizzard since record keeping began.
