<p>... While the Canadians strap on their snowshoes and plow through -5 degree blizzards.</p>
<p>People are worried that they won't be able to survive Chicago's winters, but remember that it is the 3rd largest city in the US, so it must be survivable.</p>
<p>haha phuriku, its true... i live in florida and since its very rarely 60 degrees here (during the daytime at least), i'd say anything below 65 we're cold.</p>
<p>I love cold :)</p>
<p>It wasn't that bad this weekend.</p>
<p>As a native Chicagoan, the cold weather is manageable, what sucks are the wild temperature fluctuations. The potholes are killing my car.</p>
<p>haha, well what do you expect from us Floridians? we spend 99% of the time sweating, so we're really just not ready for anything even remotely cold!</p>
<p>you guys make me feel better though, because really the only objection I get from my parents about Chicago is, YOU'RE GOING TO FREEZE! I would expect them to be more worried about how much it costs to go there, since we are in no way rich, but whatever, I'm not complaining!</p>
<p>If it's cold, you can put on as many layers as you need. You can't (always) take off clothes.</p>
<p>I happen to find the snow and cold weather rather nice. Winter is my favorite quarter for academic productivity too-- fall and spring, it's too beautiful outside to get anything done.</p>
