The last day of February marked two notable events in northern Illinois.
First, multiple tornadoes were reported in northern Illinois Tuesday, with one fatality reported due
to an uprooted tree, in Ottawa, Illinois. In addition, hailstones as
big as golf balls fell in the far southern Chicago metro area.
These
February tornadoes are rare in northern Illinois. The National Weather
Service said prior to this event, only one tornado had occurred in that
region in February since 1950.
Tuesday
also marked a record for Chicago's lack of snow cover. This was the
first time in recorded history that the Windy City experienced an entire
January and February without an inch or more of snow on the ground.
