We’re approximately 500 miles from the Canadian border in the Midwest and escaping to FL for a week in the winter is almost too long for me. Yes, the grass is beautifully green and we may have snow/sleet for an hour or two this week and by Saturday back into the sixties. I love it! I’m pleased you enjoy FL. But sneering at other people’s contentment is strange to me. Can’t we all be happy for one another or embrace empathy at least?
A tornado ripped through my home town just outside of Boston a few years ago and destroyed my sister's car. She was at work and it took off the side of her building. That same year a tornado did major damage in central Massachusetts. They have had more tornados in the past 20 years than we have.

Tornados can happen anywhere. They are rare in Florida and Massachusetts.

You're right. No place is perfect but I love it here and I'm glad that you love it there.
