Had to shovel out first thing in the morning then again to get vehicles in the garage after work. IF you enjoy winters like that---so be it. Here, you can go inside where the "air" is on but the sun may be shining outside. We don't do activities outside during the midday in summer. As for hurricanes....the effects we experience here is wind and rain, not what you see on t.v. news. That's always on the coasts.
In the PAST, the hurricanes stayed on the coast, but worldwide the oceans have been warming for the last 11 years, so they could bust-through into central Florida now.
