This is my biggest concern moving to 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 have lived in TV for 19 years. I hated winters in Ohio and always thought summer didn’t last long enough. After all these years down here, I’m sick of the brutal summers. It’s just too hot to do anything outside, and the humidity can be a killer. I regret not being a snowbird, but we didn’t want to maintain two houses. I’m ready to move back north, if I could convince my spouse.

Think twice before becoming a year round resident.
