This is my biggest concern moving to the TV. I have owned 2 properties in the past and not something I really want to do at this point in my life. I don't mind the snow, just the gray and lack of sun.
The difference is.... Cold, bitter cold is actually painful. It's also dangerous if you have to shovel snow, or walk or drive on ice.

Summer in Florida is miserable, during the day, but it doesn't hurt. We live in an air conditioned word. Our homes, cars and places we go all have air conditioning. Yard work is restricted to after dinner...... summer in Florida is better than winter in the frozen north.
