I'm also from Helsinki, and I lived in Chicago, and I can tell you that Chicago gets MUCH colder than Helsinki does. Chicago regularly gets to -10-20C each winter, for weeks on end (or at least used to, I no longer live there), with winds and snow to match. Helsinki rarely gets that cold, and doesn't stay there for long periods. The darkness in Helsinki is brutal, but Chicago winters are nothing to sneeze at.
