Stay safe in Vermont...inland and high. Keep the islands for vacations.

Stay close to the adult children and the grandchildren. Vermont is a beautiful state."  
Your relatives know you well, and I would certainly listen carefully to what they have to say.

I think a decision to move full time to a warmer clime is totally dependent on family needs ...
how much time you want to spend with your children and grandchildren.
Some people need to see their kids and grandkids daily or weekly.
In that case, best not to move.
Others are satisfied with an occasional visit, and perhaps a month in the summer up north.
If that's the situation, then moving is probably a good option.
