Chicago is only really cold in January…it’s really not that bad the rest of the winter unless 30 degrees is some sort of unbearable cold to you

Growing up in the northeast I thought I knew cold. Midwest cold is DIFFERENT different.

lake effect cold is a special kind of cold. you truly have to be built different. we get a bit of it in pittsburgh, because we’re a 3-river valley bang in between cleveland and erie, but i refuse to go any further north. it literally hurts to breathe on the great lakes.

And Chicago cold is nothing compared to Minneapolis cold.
Chicagoland is significantly cheaper than basically every other major metro area in the US due to the weather. In one calendar year, there’s about a 100°F (38°C) range the daytime temperature can be in.

The crazy thing too is that Chicago hasn’t even been THAT bad for the last couple years. We’ve been blessed with mild winters for a minute now. It used to be just this cold and we got a fuckload more snow.

I was driving to work and listening to a 60s/70s soul station this morning, everything was dusted with snow, and I felt like I was in a 70s movie because in my mind every movie from the 70s involves Chicago in the freezing cold winter.

Took an August trip to Chicago one year, and froze the entire time.

So I just moved here from Texas last year and I gotta say. Everyone complains about the cold but once I bought a real winter jacket I’m good. I never had one before and thought cold was always just miserable. It’s not. Everyone complaining just wants to be comfortable all year round. The summer here is absolutely gorgeous and you don’t get it that nice most places for more than 2-3 weeks.
But also where the fuck is all the snow we got like 8 inches here in November and barely an inch since! I thought I’d be building snow forts with my son all winter but no it’s just bullshit snow and ice
