I think many people's initial experience with Florida is a trip in the wintertime when it's a brisk -20 in Syracuse, NY and lovely in Florida. They then form their opinion about how pleasant the year-round weather is based on that experience. If you're thinking of living here year-round, it would be good for you to come back in the middle of summer and experience a week BEFORE you buy into TV. You may come to a completely different decision. We find the summer heat here absolutely intolerable. To us, June, July & August around here is the mirror opposite of January, February & March in Nome, Alaska. So we do the same thing that you'd do in Nome. Close the doors but instead of turning on the heat we turn on the AC and stay inside as much as possible. Others find the heat bearable, and some even find it enjoyable, but not for us.
