Well that certainly would make more sense! I’m a cold weather person myself, but shorts in -5F is a bit much for me.

Christmas Day in 1983 was a record low for Chicago.

I’m not from the area, so I’m unsure if there are severe micro-climates in or around Chicago. Maybe, even, you and your neighbor are acclimated to very cold weather conditions. It’s irrelevant either way, as we would all be better served by not conflating weather with climate, which OP’s post is also doing.
Mark O’Conner did a sequel with Johnny Cash as the narrator, Travis Tritt as the devil, and Marty Stuart as Johnny. It’s called “The Devil Comes Back to Georgia” and Johnny wins the that one again, this time with even more hubris than before. Good song though, if you like the fiddle Mark O’Conner is incredibly talented.
