Oklahoma native, our cold weather pales in comparison to Chicago - there's a concert in early February right outside of O'Hare that I am headed towards. Most Chicago tourist guides I've encountered online simply don't advise to visit but my hands are tied.

What local things would you recommend to an outsider braving the outside? Any tips on staying warm?

Maybe some delays, but we're used to snow. There's pretty solid infrastructure for dealing with snow. We have plenty of plows and salt trucks, people generally know how to drive in it, you should be fine taking public transit as long as you bake in a little extra time.
