I'd definitely take the FL summers over upper Midwest winters! But I LOVE the beach in May - Sept. The water is a like bathwater warm. LOVE IT!
I can't stand driving in snow anymore. Icy roads that can easily put you in the ditch. At my age it's dangerous. Walking on icy parking lots just to get into the grocery store. Always having that feeling of never being warm Sept - June. Snow starts in late September and can snow until May. Deep freeze for 6 months. No thanks!

Did you live in the Upper Peninsula? Most snow in those states start in November and are gone by April 1 or earlier. There may be a rare spring snow which melts immediately.
But the point here is the OP could be gone for the winter months up north and out of Florida for the steamy 6 months of April through September if he rents his getaway. And Florida isn't for everyone, he would have the opportunity to enjoy more of the country.
