Today in Chicago History: The city's snowiest Easter ever
Here's a look back at what happened in the Chicago area on March 29, according to the Tribune's archives. Is an important event missing from this date? Email us. Weather records (from the National Weather Service, Chicago) High temperature: 88 degrees (1986) Low temperature: 9 degrees (1887) Precipitation: 1.33 inches (1979) Snowfall: 7.7 inches (1954) 1964: Chicago experienced 7.1 inches of snow on Easter Sunday — the heaviest Easter snowfall on record and the largest last snow of the winter ever for the city. 1988: Workers began ripping out the 9-year-old artificial turf at Soldier Field. Turf was first installed at the stadium in 1971 — but did anyone really like it? Bears fans scooped up drink coasters and even doormats made of the plastic grass. The turf was replaced with real grass, which is still used on the field. 2000: The Chicago Cubs faced the New York Mets in the Tokyo Dome for the first Major League Baseball opening day outside North America. 'Starter Jon Lieber gave a superb effort and third baseman Shane Andrews whacked a two-run homer as the Cubs ushered in 2000 with a 5-3 victory over the Mets before a mostly docile crowd of 55,000,' Tribune reporter Teddy Greenstein wrote. 2018: Scott Foster — a 36-year-old accountant — stepped in as emergency backup goaltender for the Chicago Blackhawks.
