Brace yourselves. Winter is here<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Chicago\u00a0cold\u00a0is brutal, whether you’ve lived here for decades or just moved to town. It’s undeniable, so much so that some\u00a0locals have gone to great lengths and steep prices<\/a> to stay warm. And, to anyone who tries to call\u00a0BS on these claims, just show them these pics and they’ll feel\u00a0the chill in their bones.<\/p>\n

From some of our favorite Chi-town photographers, these Instagram shots\u00a0give you a sneak peek at the\u00a0cruelty of Chicago winters.<\/p>\n

Winter in Chicago Cold enough to make Pack Ice and when it\u2019s still like this evening, it goes on forever. Though you don\u2019t see much snow in the image, I waded through snow drifts up to mid thigh to get to the lakefront. The ice went as far as I could see. By the next morning, the wind had shifted and it was completely gone. . . . #canonfanphoto #beautifuldestinations #canon_photos #colors_of_day #destinationearth #earth_official #earth_shotz #folksouls #ig_color #lensbible #roamtheplanet #theglobewanderer #visualsoflife #hey_ihadtosnapthat #mg5k #bokeh_shotz #depthobsessed #battleofchi4 #ig_masterpiece #aov5k #edgygrams #madewithmefoto #shotz__fired #artofchi #chicity_shots #chiarchetecture #igerschicago #likechicago #jaw_dropping_shots #ill_landscapes<\/a><\/p>\n
