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.

We are snowbirds from Michigan. I must admit, it's nice to get out of the dreary cloudy Michigan winters for 6 months. It seems like the winters are getting milder up there though. Less snow and warmer days. Still a lot of clouds tho. So, sometimes I think about staying up in Michigan longer before we come to Florida. Coming to The Villages is not always nice either. It's so crowded in the winter, and this year the weather wasn't very good. Overall, I still think being here for a few months (Jan-Mar) makes for a nice break, even if it's crowded and cooler. You wouldn't have to live in the Villages either. Central Florida is a good location because you don't really get damage from hurricanes. And, the weather is cooler than the southern parts.
