I don't know about Chicago but people do escape to Montreal during winter weekends and the hotels are generally pretty full. Except for certain specific times when winter is part of the attraction (Christmas, the annual winter festival, etc.) the weather doesn't play into it much either way and geography plays into it more: it's within striking distance of places like Boston, NYC, Ottawa, Toronto, etc. if you don't want to go too far for a quick trip. Plus stuff like looser rules on liquor and other things enters into it as well...
