No comparison whatsoever. Plus, winter in NH usually lasts from late November to April or even May.

There is absolutely no comparison between Florida living and Northern living.

I agree totally. I am also from NH and winter was a long, cold, dark time. For me it was a depressing time. Summer here was wonderful. I played pickle ball in the morning, did a little gardening, ate lunch and then spent the rest of the day at the pool socializing. Then we would go out to dinner, no reservations necessary!
