But I do not miss driving in it, I do not miss heavy tree branches snapping or shoveling cars out only to have the snow plow come and plow them in again. I don't miss slippery sidewalks or dagger like icicles. I don't miss scraping ice off my windshield or waiting for the defroster to finally defrost so that I can see to drive. I don't miss heavy coats, snow boots or gloves. I'll take 80+ degrees over ice and snow any day. |

60 Years in New England, loved it most of the time. Made a very good living and then retired. Sold 1 house, bought 1 here in TV. I enjoy the nice weather, golf and everything else Florida and TV have to offer. I don't miss New England one bit. Getting ready to sell the other house up north this year. I have "moved on", now I am a Florida resident and I love it. The old friends up north that say they couldn't move south, just want to die miserable in the gray, cold New England winter.

I didn't realize what a relief it was to be away from snow and ice until I was away from it. I've gotten to the point where I'm used to the hot Florida summers. Warm and sunny is nice.

I know lots of elderly people who wouldn’t think of moving to Florida because of the weather. They have great social networks, don’t have to shovel their own snow, have established Drs and medical facilities, faith communities that aren’t the size of Yankee stadium and so forth. Why can’t people just be happy for others? |

We spent 20 yrs in TV and loved it until we needed help. I'm back in NH due to my husbands medical needs which were not available in TV and I love it. In fact I just walked down to the mail box and back. It is truly beautiful, temp is 33 and we are expecting some more light snow flurries this afternoon. We have under floor heating in our home and keep it at 76. We do not have to clear any snow, everything is done for us, our shopping is delivered and on Friday it will warm up again. My husband has excellent medical care .... it's all good. Be happy where you are and enjoy life.

I came to Florida when I was in my late seventy's from the Midwest.
Retirement and Florida go together, but making a living in Florida, not so much. I wouldn't care for the pay scale the south has to offer compared to the north. So we all take our nest egg from the north, and spend it in the south. A win win for the southland. |

Did you really take a snow blower? A snow shovel, if you had the right kind is a manure shovel in Florida..
