The "historic" blizzard failed to materialize in New York City last week, but it did arrive in the Midwest on Sunday night and Monday morning. Chicago was blanketed with 19.3 inches of snow in what's being called the city's fifth biggest blizzard in recorded history.

Chicagoans seemed to take it all in stride. Their public transit system wasn't shut down and there were not bans on travel. However, the storm proved deadly in some other areas, with at least 11 deaths related to the weather, six of those in car crashes.

In New York, two people died in a wreck on Interstate 95, while two men were killed when their vehicle turned over on Indiana's Interstate 74. Another two were killed in another crash in Nebraska.

In the suburbs of Boston, a woman was hit by a snowplow and died, while a police officer died in Toledo, Ohio after suffering a heart attack while shoveling snow.
