Back in the late 60's I was recently married and residing in the D.C. area. In early January my wife and I wanted to escape winter by visiting Florida - for the first time. An aunt and uncle lived in Winterhaven which is not far from TV and we went there. It was rainy and cold, no snow, but not the warm and sunny Florida I had envisioned. My aunt suggested we rent a car, drive to Miami and get on a cruise ship, which we did, ending up in the Bahamas. It was indeed lovely down there and we had a great time.
The reason I am considering relocating to TV is for the lifestyle and amenities rather than "ideal" weather. Like most villagers, I never want to shovel snow again. I have done a lifetime's worth of that! I am renting a place in TV for the month of October. I plan on using a golf cart to get around. I want to experience what it feels like to live in TV. I figure during any serious or prolonged cold spell I can head south, maybe take a Carribean cruise. Frankly, my biggest concern is how well I will be able to handle the humidity rather than the heat or cold. I now reside in a rather dry climate; but one's body adjusts.
