It could easily be 15 degrees warmer in the winter near Miami or Ft Lauderdale. than it is here.
that observation reminds me of my first ever visit to Florida. I drove from NY to Miami. When we hit the Georgia-Florida border I thought "we're here!"....yeah, right. This was in 1978, and the speed limit was 55. Took what seemed like forever to get down there.
