Isn't 16 F just - 8 C?

Thereabouts. Chicago is always windy though. It's absolutely no joke being outside like that.

I mean it's cold weather but I assumed it would've been more if it was described as brutal and whatnot

They're remembering their experience in - 10 C, which was already brutal to them, and imagining how terrible it must have been for the folks in Minneapolis in - 23C.
