I have been in hot humid weather most of my life. Now that I am retired, we may actually buy a place up north for the winter in a year or two. Last year I spent 6 weeks in upstate NY and it was miserably hot and about half the people we visited had no A/C. If we get a place up there it will definitely have central air. I hate snow and winters. We owned a home in the country for 6 years in Pennsylvania and I commuted 25 miles each way to work. Absolutely miserable. I went to college at the State University of NY at Oswego. Have you ever heard of lake effect snow ? Have you ever seen 10 feet of snow dropped in a weekend ? Have you ever felt what it fells like when the wind chill factor is -80 degrees with the winds coming off of Lake Ontario ? Oh, I have experienced plenty of cold in my life and I still prefer not having to shovel snow and dealing with the summers in the south.

I went to Syracuse University and they get MORE SNOW then Oswego. I was out once and it was 20 below zero.
You could feel the mucus freezing in your nose.
A JOKE-a kid comes home form school in fla and complains about how hot it is. His father says, yo have no idea, When I was a kid we used to walk ten miles to school in ten feet of snow AND THE KID REPLIED-DAD DID IT SNOW IN FLORIDA IN THOSE DAYS? Or, the joke was something like that and when I heard it, it was funny as we lived in NY and had 3-4 feet of snow at the time
