As if 12.5 inches of snow in 24 hours (and still flurrying) wasn't enough,
NOrthern Illinois had a 4.3 earthquake at 3:59am. No damage reports, but it rattled people. It was felt in Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Epicenter was near Sycamore, IL in DeKalb County.
That is your odd news for the day.
