me to. you can always layer up for cold. there ain't shit you can do for heat.
besides, it never actually gets to -50 in chicago. that's a textbook j-man exaggeration.
the coldest it has ever been in recorded history in chicago is -27 back in january of 1985 (i was in 4th grade at the time and school was cancelled due to the cold).
and in an average january, the lowest low is usually about -3, and even then the below zero shit is typically only a few bitterly cold mornings a year. it's not like it's routinely below zero all winter long in chicago.
january highs/lows average 32/18. that's certainly cold to a texan, but it's honestly not that big of a deal if you're a chicagoan who's acclimated to it.
