Statistically, you have about a 5% chance based on the last handful of years that temperatures will ever reach in the negatives and maybe a 30% or 35% chance total that either temperatures will be in the negatives or that wind chills will be in the negatives at any point in the day (even if just for 30 minutes).

I'm not sure who you are hanging out with, but does anyone actually believe "Chicago is always in the negatives"? That is just plain stupid.
I"m not sure if the cold is exaggerated or not, but from in my opinion Chicago probably has the 2nd worst winters in the US, after Minneapolis. For me I can handle the snow, but the cold, no thanks.
