its obvious.. i am a lucky one. why fla is so popular. dont let alligators or heat bother you.. like winter up north. you find a way around it all. and theres always a pool to swim in.. everything is AC. so the problem is? norther fla is about 15 degrees cooler in winter. but stil hot in summer. southern fla is hot to warm (15-20 degree variation all year round). as a new englander what do i miss? the woods. in the summer. . thats it, i dont miss change of season. our change is rain! and we all stay home.. ha ha. just some fyi.
