Right now, temperatures in The Villages and Edwardsville are somewhat similar.

Is this typical weather here? Or an anomaly?
The last few days are somewhat colder than usual, but are not uncommon (if that makes sense). You might want to have a sweater or light jacket handy for the mornings and evenings. My wife thinks of these days as she does of the temperatures in the air-conditioned stores and restaurants where she is always freezing!

Be thankful you have escaped from Illinois with its terrible government and outrageous taxes. Not paying a state income tax is like getting a raise. Not being controlled by the political machine in Chicago is a blessing.

If you want a break from our winter season, take a cruise out of Port Canaveral. They're cheap and convenient.
