would this tolerate winter weather that we experience in Chicago?

I have mine on back porch to store pool supplies. I love it! I live in E. Texas, where we do get some freezing weather. It is a sturdy building, so I'm sure it would hold up.

I got mine last fall. I was very glad that I stained it with a good wood stain so that it held up through freezing, snow, wind, and lots of rain. I will stain it again this summer. It kept things dry.

We live in Florida, so winter is not an issue. Sorry I could not be of help.

Should be unaffected by weather. Mine worked fine through all 4 seasons included rain, snow and an ice storm.

SPEC'S: Avoid temperatures below -10C (14F) or above 60C (140F). However, I tried it in my great cold City of Chicago last week when it was below 0, and it worked......barely.

It is not insulated for very cold weather. there are dual flaps, but they do let the cold in. Not sure about snow as ours is under a covered porch.

I guess it depends on how you define 'cold weather', we have two units that were placed outside from the beginning by our installer and no problem to date, we are in south central Texas. 'hope that helps you, good product

I'm not sure how cold Chicago winters are, but I would venture to say that "medium warmth" is probably not warm enough for winter weather there. I use the Pinzon Primaloft comforter for Southern California weather all year and it works fine for our moderate winters.

Yes. I have had it out all winter long. Lots and lots of snow and ice here no issue at all. It handled it beautifully. It's a wonderful item. No problems with it.

I am not sure yet since this will be the first winter that we have it installed. We put a hood around it on the outside with a side exit so that it would not be subjected to direct rain or snow. We also hope that it will eliminate any drafts that might occur.

Not sure I'm here in California. It will survive rain no problem don't know about freezing weather.

We live in Illinois, it works fine here. Our winter may not have been as bad as yours, but it was COLD. Don't know if it makes a difference or not but our car is in attached garage overnight.

Not sure as this will be our first winter with it. Our neighbor has one and has never had a problem.

I'm hoping yes. This is my tree's first winter...in the garage in New England. That's about the temp of my garage too. It's supposed to be fine, but we'll see in a couple months.

I would not expect any problem from being in a temperate zone, as long as you do not leave it on the dashboard of a closed, parked car in the sun - - - or something similar.

I live in upstate NY and plan to bring it inside in the winter. It looks/feels pretty durable, I'm sure it would be fine if it was covered.
