Can bamboo survive Chicago's harsh weather?

[scuderia_ferrari_11387]

I am personally a fan of bamboo trees, and like the idea of having bamboo trees growing in my yard (if I were to ever purchase a house).

What I was curious about was what type of conditions do bamboo trees need to survive? I live in Chicago, so we get hot, humid summers followed by cold snowy winters. Could bamboo trees survive these conditions outside, or would they die?

Thanks!
