Airlines at Chicago's O'Hare and Midway airports have cancelled more than 200 flights due to snowy weather on Thursday, according to local reports.
As of 8:30 a.m. Thursday, 125 flights had been canceled at Midway International Airport and 93 flights had been canceled at O'Hare International Airport.
The snow first started on Wednesday, making it a record-breaking and unseasonably early first snowfall, according to reports. By 1 p.m. Wednesday, it dumped 1.2 inches of snow over a 12-hour period at O'Hare International Airport and left 48,000 Chicago homes without power before turning into mainly rain.
Wednesday's snow also broke a snowfall record of Chicago for Oct. 30 previously held in 1923, when the city got 0.7 inches of snow.
