This is not unusual for this time of year, but unlike Illinois, it will warm up here a lot sooner and more often. When I was living in Upstate NY, trying to decide where I'd like to spend my retirement winters, I wondered if TV would be warm enough for me. My folks spent their retirement winters in the Naples/Ft. Myers area and it's definitely warmer there, typically 10 degrees or so when we have these cold snaps. I opted for TV more for the lifestyle and relative affordability than for the weather. What I have found is that while the coldest days are definitely a bit snappy, in the winter months here in TV we get a lot of days that remind me of the beautiful Indian Summer days we'd get up north.
And, it will get toasty soon enough.
