- Chicago_Blizzard_of_1979 abstract "The Chicago Blizzard of 1979 was a major blizzard that affected northern Illinois and northwest Indiana, United States on Saturday, January 13 – Sunday, January 14, 1979. It was the second largest Chicago snowstorm in history at the time, with 21 inches of snowfall in the two day period. By the end of January 14, the depth of snow on the ground peaked at 29 inches. Five people died during the blizzard, with approximately 15 others serious injured due to conditions created by the storm. One of the five deaths came when a snow plow driver went berserk, hitting 34 cars and ramming a man. O'Hare Airport was closed and all flights grounded for 96 hours from January 13 to the 15. The cold weather and snowfall throughout the rest of January and February resulted in frozen tracks throughout the Chicago 'L' system. Commuters crowded onto CTA buses, quickly overwhelming capacity, resulting in bus commutes usually taking 30 to 45 minutes taking up to several hours. Because of the blizzard, the excavation of the house of recently-captured serial killer John Wayne Gacy had to be postponed. To avoid huge snowdrifts in the streets, the overcrowded buses were obliged to take numerous detours, adding additional time to the commute. Deployment of plows was significantly delayed and when they finally appeared they struggled to keep up with the snowfall. Much of the snow remained unremoved throughout the next 2 months, causing ongoing public transit delays and significant problems with trash collection. The city's inadequate response to the blizzard was blamed primarily on mayor Michael Bilandic, who had assumed the post after the 1976 death of Richard J. Daley. Newspaper articles at the time blasted Bilandic. Jane Byrne, Bilandic's main opposition in the Democratic primary, capitalized on this and defeated Bilandic in the February 27 primary, eventually becoming the first female mayor of Chicago.".
