Born and raised on Long Island. I LOVED the winters and the snow when I was a kid. It was so much fun to go sledding and build snowmen. Then I grew up and had to to drive to college then to work when I graduated. That was no fun.....at all.
I moved to south Florida for nearly 25 years and then moved back u north to New Jersey for 16 years. Had to do it all over again with the freezing temperatures, snow and ice. My hands in the winter months stayed cracked and bleeding no matter what lotion I used. I won't ever miss shoveling the white stuff and chopping away the ice. NEVER.
Living up north in the cold will always be more dangerous than living in the south with the heat. Driving is a very big problem in the cold climates compared to clear roads all the time in the south.
