CHICAGO, ILL. -- Chicago's airports are working to get back to normal after a winter storm pummeled Illinois with snow and wind.

The Chicago Department of Aviation is reporting that 75 flights have been canceled at O'Hare International Airport on Monday.

That's after almost 1,700 flights were canceled at both O'Hare and Midway International Airport on Sunday.

The cancellations left some travelers stranded overnight at O'Hare, where officials set up about 200 cots at the request of airlines.

The Chicago area only received a few inches of snow, but the region also has been hit by low temperatures and high winds.
