Beat the gloom by booking a fabulous trip to the States. Sure, there\u2019s snow and deep-dish pizza at home, but going somewhere new makes winter easier to bear. After all, you want to look forward to something other than scraping ice off your car window each morning. Here are some of the best U.S. cities to visit in winter:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>San Francisco, California <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The City by the Bay is pretty much cold all year, so you might as well visit in winter! San Franciscans are used to living in a chilly climate, which is perhaps why the city is filled with a ton of bookstores, coffee shops, and diners offering you some famous Bay Area clam chowder in a sourdough bowl. If you ever do need to beat the cold breeze, you can always duck into any of the acclaimed theatres like the Orpheum or Curran. The San Francisco Opera is also world-famous, if you\u2019d prefer to hear someone sing to the rafters in joy rather than squeal in pain from the cold.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Park City, Utah<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re a movie buff, history buff, or just like skiing off bluffs, make a point to check out Park City, Utah. Each January brings the Sundance Film Festival, which showcases some of hottest new movies of the upcoming year. Once it\u2019s time for sports, Park City Mountain Resort provides soft powder for an assortment of skiing, snowboarding, and other stomach-dropping adventures. After your afternoons on the slopes, head back to downtown and Main Street, which has maintained its 19<sup>th<\/sup>-century saloon look. You might not see any gold miners of yore, but you can certainly order some Goldschl\u00e4ger to put off the chill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chicago, Illinois \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cw07_1_Chicago-Mile.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3960\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cw07_1_Chicago-Mile.jpg\" alt=\"cw07_1_Chicago Mile\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You may be thinking: Chicago in snow season? Yes, it\u2019s freezing cold in the Windy City during winter, but the residents have more than compensated with an impeccable bar scene, piping hot deep-dish pizza parlours, award-winning theatres, and the famous Second City improv group. You may even want to brave a walk to the famous \u201cBean\u201d sculpture. Then you can officially say you\u2019ve \u201cbean\u201d there and done that when it comes to Chicago.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Seattle, Washington<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best places to be in a winter storm is a toasty caf\u00e9 with espresso beans at full caffeine capacity. So head to Seattle\u2014the home of the original Starbucks\u00ae, as well as dozens of other independent coffee shops. While it\u2019s certainly cold in Washington during winter, snow in Seattle is rare. You might have to deal with rain, but that\u2019s why there are countless umbrellas in storefront windows. Luckily, the weather won\u2019t stop you from checking out the famed EMP Museum, which houses memorabilia from Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana. You can also go up the Space Needle and see the Puget Sound and downtown. It may be winter, but you don\u2019t have to worry about the cold needling you during your trip to Seattle.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Honolulu, Hawaii<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cw07_2_Honolulu-Lifeguard-Tower.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3961\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cw07_2_Honolulu-Lifeguard-Tower.jpg\" alt=\"cw07_2_Honolulu Lifeguard Tower\" width=\"1000\" height=\"660\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some people think that life is better with snow, but that\u2019s because they\u2019re not currently sipping on a Mai Tai in Hawaii. The word \u201cparadise\u201d gets passed around like a Kardashian, but the label 100% applies to Honolulu. Warm sunshine, soft sand, beautiful views\u2014honestly, you can travel to Honolulu at any point in the year and experience good living. Hike up Diamond Head for impeccable views; explore Iolani Palace, the only royal palace on American soil; and rock out in your speedo at Waikiki Beach. Everyone back home can complain about freezing their tush off in the snow. You\u2019ll be sitting on a lawn chair on the beach, coconut drink in hand.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s raining, it\u2019s pouring, it\u2019s snowing, and it sucks. So plan a trip south of the border! Any of these American towns are more than ready for snowbirds looking for some adventure to mix up the dreary winter monotony. Cheers!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What\u2019s your favourite U.S. winter destination?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like Shia LaBeouf, this year\u2019s winter storms just won\u2019t go away.
