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.

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.

If the people you intwract think Chicago is “always below zero degrees” they should all be slept in the face for their stupidity.

I also meant 2nd worse of major cities, that’s probably why the reputation. Cleveland and upstate NY are worse in my opinion. I think Boston has slightly more tolerable winters than Chicago, but it’s splitting hairs. Depends if you like cold or snow better.

Agree.. though for me it was so many people. I dont know why but strangers like to randomly tell me their problems in real life even when I dont say a word to them. Random strangers everywhere always had this type of attitude regarding the weather. So many people I interacted with thought Chicago was even worse than places like Minneapolis. I'd show my coworkers the weather in Minneapolis and they'd always have this dumbfounded look as if no place should be worse than Chicago.

Funniest thing I saw related to this was right after the blizzard in 2010 or 2011. The news was out in my neighborhood and a couple was out walking. Guy stops them on tv and asks how they're doing and if they've experienced anything like it before. The guy says something like "Actually we are visiting from Maine. We have this all the time and it's normal for us." and leaves without the guy on TV being able to get a word in. The look on his face was priceless iirc.

Also it's not just Chicagoans. It's not uncommon for people from outside Chicago to think winters here are Siberia-level cold and snow. That's probably not in small part to our penchant for exaggeration.

That's been my experience as well. A few factors I think:

1) Whenever it's really cold or it snows a lot in Chicago, it's on some of the news making some believe that it's more normal than it really is.

2) Some people in Chicago exaggerate making others believe that really cold temperatures occur much more frequently than they actually do in reality. Also, there are some people who completely have selective memories when it comes to temperatures. I guarantee that when Chicago gets pretty cold again next month, that many people will selectively forget that it was recently 20+ degrees above average for multiple days.

3) Many people visit Chicago during winter and they sometimes visit when it's really cold for a few days. I have multiple friends and co-workers who have visited during times like this and they believe that's how Chicago *always* is. Even though they only went for a few days, when you tell them their days there were not normal, they don't listen. I have 2 co-workers specifically like this. No amount of telling them how many winters you lived in Chicago will make them believe you over the 3 really cold days they experienced once.

And the sad part is that these things also prevent some people from moving to Chicago. I have multiple friends and co-workers who love Chicago and nearly all of them have said "I would totally move there if it wasn't so cold." And when I ask them how cold they think it is, routinely they think the average high in winter is 15 degrees F or even lower based on them once visiting in January during a cold spell or seeing the news. It's fun showing monthly temperatures and they sometimes realize it's not as cold on average as they thought and not much colder than where they currently are.

Looking at the fantastic image from Gandolf612 and thinking in terms of the possibility

of Chicago continuing to grow (which I am not assuming) and thinking that the city

needs to avoid the dulling density of some larger cities, I think it might be wise for

city planners to encourage the spread of taller structures in the south. They could have

better views of the skyline and the north-south priority could follow the river and keep

Chicago from feeling too dense. At this point, anything which might be taller than the

Sears tower would feel better to me if it was, at least as far south as the area along

the river between Harrison and Roosevelt. The near North side is becoming too densely

walled and this can end up feeling more impersonal and brutal. Spreading more of

the density which is found in the Loop will not make the city a better place to live.

The higher highs need the contrast of variable heights (and greenery) around them

to help the city breathe and have better access to natural light.

Also, the idea of the Sears tower becoming a supportive structural foil for a taller

building is setting the bar (of architectural presence) higher than any other city has had

to reach.

The weather has been so warm lately that the snowpack to the north of us is going to be diminished quite a bit because they are getting rain like us instead of snow.

If a polar vortex even happened in the next few weeks it does not mean heavy snow. Usually deep cold produces little snow at all.

Thus far its been a mild winter. I don't think anyone would disagree with that statement.

But you never know what's going to happen in two weeks from now.

pianowizard · #**2015** Posted **Dec 29, 2019, 2:34 PM**

In the above photo, Vista and Sears complement each other wonderfully. In fact they look a little bit alike, with both buildings having a couple of setbacks, and from this distance their heights look fairly comparable. In this view, these two tallest buildings of Chicago (by roof height) look like the guardians of the city.

I completely agree about the importance of avoiding overcrowding. Every time I am in Chicago I enjoy the breathing room, something that's sorely missing in a certain high-density city on the East Coast. On the other hand, we don't want Chicago's future supertalls to be too far apart. A case in point is Atlanta, whose tallest skyscrapers are too spread out IMO -- see for example this aerial video https://www.axiomimages.com/aerial-s.../view/AX38_030 . I was in Atlanta last month and the extreme sparseness of skyscrapers looked much worse than this video suggests.

You make a good point. There are a number of problems affecting Atlanta which relate to the density of buildings and the way the city works which are

possibly less in Chicago's much greater density. The chief being automobile pollution and the frustrations of sitting in traffic for longer periods of time.

Atlanta is a poorly designed hub and it exemplifies why better planning is needed. It boomed with the worship of the automobile and now it has worse

air pollution than Chicago. For Atlanta, the distance between the buildings might alleviate some of the congestion while Chicago might benefit from

wider spacing because it is already so much larger. We may be comparing an apple (pun) to a peach and assuming that the cultural needs of one is

the same as the other.

I'm hoping someone can help me: I remember coming across a site a while back that allowed you to browse historical street imagery on a map (similar to google maps). Probably posted somewhere on this forum but I'm not sure if that's where I was originally introduced to it. I specifically remember looking around Garfield Park but the entire map of Chicago was available (although there weren't images for every street, of course). The images were high def as well, which was amazing.

Any clues?
