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.
Moved here 8 years ago, and wished I moved earlier. I moved from PA to escape the snow and ice and cold/dark winters. Bring your snow shovel, though, because it snowed in Miami in 1977, and will do so again. On January 9, 2010 there was some light snow & sleet in The Villages.
