However, the pro side of this is welcoming back the neighbors we've missed, driveway parties are planned, more in-home dinner parties, potlucks and whatnot, earlier tee times, more class times to choose from, errands are run before 10:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m., and the freezer is stocked before the prices get raised. We have learned to adjust our schedules and our budgets during those months.
But we still wouldn't live anywhere else!

So what you are saying basically is in TV we need to prepare for higher prices, crazy drivers,and maybe hanging out around home a bit more if one doesn't like crowds, but get to enjoy sunny weather. While here up north we make preparations for winter weather by stocking up on snow shovels and ice melt before the prices go up when the demand is highest, we get prepared encounter crazy people on the icy and snowy roads who have forgotten how to drive on winter roads, and we prepare to be house bound at least once due to ice or snow. Seems like a good trade of cons.....I can't wait!
