Will tampered glass hold up against Chicagoland snow/freezing temperatures??

I would like to to use it on my porch (lake view).

Thank you in advance!

Well, glass windows don't break when it is freezing and thawing.

Our tempered glass in northern Illinois has held up without issue since 1999.

I am a retired US Air Force Captain. Years ago I was flying from Lakenheath Air Force Base (AFB), England back to Mcguire AFB, NJ. We had a fire in the cockpit, and we had to make an emergency landing at Goose Bay Labrador, Canada. The winter temperatures there can get into the -7 to -22F. Their buildings all have glass windows.

I'd be more worried about baseballs and hailstones than cold and wind.
