CHICAGO — Remember when the WORLD WAS ENDING last week? At least that's what it seemed like when New Yorkers thought they would be hammered by snow. In NYC, it turned out to be an average day of flurries.

On Sunday, Chicago was hit with the fifth largest snow storm in city history.

"Business as usual," said Malika Donald, 48, of Uptown, who was running errands Sunday afternoon. "It's Chicago; if you live here, you have to deal with it. And, it's actually not that cold today."

Kylie Zavadil, 25, of the West Loop, agreed.

"This is nothing compared to Snowpocalypse when we got 3 or 4 feet of snow. It's pretty tame," Zavadil said, referring to the massive blizzard that hit almost four years ago to the day.
