I've lived in the North, during the winter, when I was unable to leave the house for a day or two or three (many times).

I've never been trapped in the house, during the summer, for a day or two or three in Florida.
Right on ! When snow has drifted your DOORS and windows, and it's so heavy you can't go out until is gets down a bit, it does not compare to just going for a plunge in your own, or the nearest pool, or go to the beach (where the breezes never stop even on a hot day). Raised in south Florida, much more tropical, career wise lived in Illinois and in Iowa for a time.... talk about HOT ! Hot and the humidity generated by acres of corn, soy beans, etc. etc. and temperatures of 102, 104... just awful, summer or winter !
