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.

Who I was hanging out with? Everyone I worked with acted like this, numerous of my neighbors. people I didnt know who would randomly strike up conversations in public complaining, etc. Chicago is cold, but people act like theres literally nowhere worse in terms of populated places in the lower 48. It's so sad its laughable. If you get multiple days over the last handful of winters in the 50s, it's not even close to the worst. Sorry.
That is also your opinion about who has "worse winters." I've lived in multiple places of the midwest and Chicago is definitely not 2nd worst. There are worse places that are sizable in population for one reason or another. I would take Chicago winters over Cleveland or anywhere in upstate NY. In fact, I'd even take them over Boston. In terms of large cities, you could probably say top 5 worst but in terms of populated places, its definitely not as bad as some. Even when I lived near Des Moines, Iowa it was worse.
