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.
I lived most of my life up North. Born in Ohio and lived there until I was 49. Then I got a job in Tennessee for 7 years, Michigan for 4.5 years and Indiana for 3 Years. I spent 9 Mo in Montana, in the Air Force, where the temperature got to 49 degrees below zero, there I decided to retire to Florida. I moved here in Dec. 2005 and live here ever since. I go back to Ohio to visit siblings and find I need a sweater or jacket when I'm up there, I'm so used to the warmth of Florida now. I used to love the 4 seasons.
