1. Snow shovels.
2. Warming up the car in the morning before leaving for work.
3. Scraping snow and ice off the car when it is -10 out there.
4. Ruinously high taxes.
5. Watching as our deck gets progressively buried by snow over the winter.
6. Not buying a vehicle unless it has four-wheel drive or AWD.
7. Applying for anything at the license bureau and then waiting for 3 months for it to come in the mail.
8. Snail-slow internet (unless you sign a contract for 2 years at $120 a month).
9. The weather dictating your travel plans.
10. Cabin fever.
None of those, plus a lot more, here in TV.

Haha. Good ones.
As far as meeting my expectations, yes! Although I visited every year for five years before we moved here, so I knew what to expect. Good and bad.
The only thing that took me, was just how hot the summers are. I had never been to FL outside of Jan-Apr. The last three summers have affected my health. I've been going to an array of doctors but they haven't found anything yet. My wife likes the heat but for me , I feel great in the fall and winter, but lousy everytime else.
