Winter conditions

Hi all

I’m a Brit spending six weeks in Chicago from January -February, working on a project. Can’t wait. I’ve been told it gets cold…! What do I need clothing wise? I guess I’ll be living downtown and getting the subway on a daily basis. I assume it’s too cold to cycle.

Any other good tips to maximise my visit? Really looking forward to getting to know the city. I recently visited for the first time and loved it.

Thanks
