To get you through this chilly day

Chicago winters are a special kind of winter. This desolate cold is on another level due to the harsh wind chill and good ol’ lake effect. Every year we put up with the winter and if we’re crazy enough, may even grow to like it. Love it or hate it, true Chicagoans can stick it out with close to no complaints and are eventually rewarded with the glorious summertime Chi. But for now, winter is HERE, and don’t we know it. Here are some memes we’ve compiled to capture the true essence of winter in Chicago.

It starts with your morning coffee.


It sometimes feels like it will never end.


But at least it’s saving you hundreds of dollars in red light tickets.



Might even be saving you hundreds of dollars in gym memberships.  

Sometimes ya just gotta know how to bundle.

Eventually, you get used to it.


Snow day? No such thing.


Just put on 7,000 layers and get on that Tauntaun.

Some people just can’t hang.

And that’s when you can tell them where to go.
