Chicago is one of the best COLD places to visit in the winter time

42% of Americans say they’re planning to take at least one trip this winter.  So where should they go?

A new study found the best cities in the U.S. to go to this winter if you want someplace WARM and the best cities to go to if you want someplace COLD.

The best warm spots are based on things like amusement parks, outdoor activities, and festivals.  Meanwhile, the best cold spots are based on things like skiing, ice skating, and indoor activities.  Both are also judged on things like costs and safety.

The five best warm cities are:

Austin, Texas

Dallas

San Diego

Las Vegas

Tampa

And the five best cold cities are:

Chicago

Washington D.C.

Atlanta

Philadelphia

Denver
