Vulcan propelled Chicago to its third snowiest season on record, with snow totals ranging from just a dusting in the northwest suburbs to just over six inches in the south suburbs.

Another 6-7 inches in Detroit pushed them to the brink of their record snowiest season, 93.6 inches, set in 1880-1881.

In Toledo, Ohio, Vulcan's snow only added to its record snowiest season. Through March 12, the northwest Ohio city had picked up an incredible 84.8 inches of snow in the season, which was over 51 inches snowier than their average season-to-date snow.

Interestingly, despite widespread ice cover, a small area of open water and sufficiently cold air produced a band of lake-effect snow into the Duluth, Minn. metro area, with amounts over six inches in some areas.

Snow fell at the rate of two inches per hour Wednesday morning at both Chicago Midway and in Ft. Wayne, Ind. Lightning accompanied these intense snowfall rates in parts of northern Indiana, northwest Ohio, Lower Michigan and northeast Illinois.
