Chicago doesn't get -40°. When I was in Champaign (admittedly, that's ~100mi south) for 6 years, exactly once did we have windchill reach -40°. Your typical "coldest low" in Chicago will be single-digit degrees Fahrenheit.

Per Wikipedia, Chicago's record extreme low is -25°F.

It hit -23F in January 2019 and below -30F in some of the suburbs. It’s almost a meaningless distinction when it’s that cold.

-40F is with windchill. We had a few days this past winter with it.
