I grew up about halfway between you and Chicago, spent my first 30 years there. I only remember one time it snowed that badly, about 1966.

Me too! Tinley Park, and it was 1967. Dang it, I miss the snow, especially this time of the year.

This is why I no longer live up by the Arctic Circle.

For the geographically impaired, the Arctic Circle is a little south of Dallas TX.

So much snow, so glad I'm in Texas.

We had a snow like that last December in KS -- 2 feet of blowing snow over a 36 hour period. I was snowed in for nearly a week because we couldn't get the car out the driveway. My DH was able to get out with the 4WD truck thank goodness. I didn't have chickens at that time, but I bet the coop would have been a disaster. It is pretty tight, but of course there has to be ventilation.

I got to thinking what I would do if that happened to my girls. I guess I would bring down the smaller tractor coop and put it in the garage for them. The car would have to live in the shed. If it were protected from the elements, it would be fine for a short period of time. Thanks for reminding me to have a plan b just in case.

Wow. Shudder.

I bet your chickens were not very happy.
