Doing much of what you are doing.

Strongly second taking your car to Florida and then replacing if/when you want to. We find we use the golf cart so much that the car isn’t that important (although I really dislike the black interior in FL!).
.

As do winter clothes - I have really good coats (commuting via train and walking in Chicago for years) and in exchange for giving the kids family furniture they really wanted (two in MI and one in VA), I told them they had to keep a few winter clothes for my visits. So I sent my serious winter coat and tall uggs and some heavier sweaters and warm pjs and heavy slacks to my daughter in NW MI. And my VA daughter gets a lighter weight coat and short Uggs and mid weight pjs and sweaters. That way, I can travel to visit work just a small bag and know I will be warm during my stay. Oh and hats and gloves went both places.

Also - we enjoy our nice warm fleeces here on many cooler evenings. And I would definitely bring gloves. I also have a couple is hats/headbands for early/late as I hate having my ears cold!

Good luck. You will be happy you cleaned our before moving. Definitely nice to have it done!
