We lived in Minocqua Wisconsin which is the Chicago playground and has been for many years.
The winters are beautiful, the snow is so white and glistens on the trees when you walk outside and you can hear a pin drop it's so quiet after a major snowfall.
We decided to sell our home up there and move full-time to The Villages 2 years ago.
Well...exactly one summer down here and we went right back up to Wisconsin and bought another summer place to snowbird to.
The heat and humidity here in summer is beyond horrendous, the grounds and flowers shrivel up and die, and your skin feels like your searing in a fry pan the very minute you walk outside !
I will take a Wisconsin winter any day over a Florida summer if I had to.
We are retired, don't care if the snow plies up outside. Everybody and thier mother has plows and shovels and we never stayed snowed in for more than 3 hours after a really hard snowfall.
And we always owned snowmobiles in case of an emergency if we had to get out.
