Yes. The kind that causes a Southwest airliner to slide off the runway, crash through a fence, hit a car, and end up in the middle of 55th and Central. Geographically, Chicago is huge. Perhaps the storm wasn't as bad where you are located.

Okay, okay, it was a pretty heavy snow. I got 10 inches myself. To me a blizzard has a lot more wind involved, but it was a heck of a snow.

Never refer to a run-of-the-mill snowstorm as a blizzard, lest ye tempt the weather gods to show you what a real blizard is.

Note: I don't live in the Chicago area, so I don't have an informed opinion as to whether the current storm qualifies.

Denver weather is interesting, 15 degrees in the morning, but enough sunshine in the afternoon that you can't wear a coat in the car. My first winter in dever a few years ago we got 4 feet of snow in the city, being stuck in my apt would have been better if the power hadn't been out for 3 of the 4 days...
