Keep in mind that many states will consider you as a resident if you spend 183 days or more, in any year, there--despite your FL driver's license, voter registration, car registration, etc. I understand from friends that New York is particularly diligent in investigating. You will want to check the laws of the state of your present northern residence in that regard and, if necessary, make sure you count your days there.
