I hear ya there, my favorite winter days in the Villages are those days when it gets unbearably cold by Villages standards. The place becomes a ghost town during high season, the golf courses and sports pools are empty and I feel like the place becomes my own private playground. The true test of when it gets cold in the Villages for me is the very rare occasion when I flip up the windshield on the golf cart and it’s not pouring rain out.
