You are correct, the Villages is not as warm as Southern Florida in the winter. But compared to where we drive south from our other home, about 1,375 miles north, it is dam warm and comfortable. In fact, we kind of like it when the Villages gets the unusual cold winter days by Villages standards. No problem getting a T Time or a lane to swim laps in one of the sports pools. A couple of days each winter it actually gets so cold I have to flip up the windshield on the golf cart : )
