Very much depends upon what activities you like to do. If you imagined that you'd be sitting by a swimming pool everyday in December-March, you'd be disappointed in the weather in Central Florida.
However, if you play pickleball, the cooler weather is a blessing.

Many times I've left the house on a "cold" morning for a walk, only to realize after a few blocks of warming up that I was a tad overdressed.

It seems like there aren't more than a handful of days through the winter months here that are just so miserable I wouldn't go out even for a walk. In fact, when those days are forecast, I sometimes get the giddy feeling I used to get when a big snowstorm was expected up north, and a little bit of me is happy that I can get a "rest day". No golf, no pickleball, no walk. Just laze around the house and do puzzles or something.

ps. I just checked the weather in my old 'hood up north. 17F. I don't miss that a bit.
