My father's mother & father spent the last 10 years of their lives at Shell Point Village outside of Ft. Myers. They were hearty people who were born and raised in Pennsylvania and lived the bulk of their adult lives in upstate NY. They were very much used to snow & cold weather. When my grandfather was 80 he was still outside in the winter plowing snow with his little garden tractor. However..a couple of years after they moved to Shell Point you would see them bundling up as though it was 10 degrees whenever the temp slipped below 50. They weren't the only ones. They had a number of friends at Shell Point who were from their church in NYS..they had all gotten spoiled as well. Just was you get used to I guess!
