Yeah, truth be told, I can see that being a potential problem on this end too.

We will just spend more time with them in the nice weather. We have made wonderful friends here that we spend the holidays with so it is not so bad, it's just different.

When we closed in our lanai and put a Mitsubishi minisplit the weather here stopped bothering me -especially in Summer.
I feel like I’m outside but comfy.
This Christmas when my Son, D-I-L, and grand daughter came we were out there all the time.

They live in N.Y. and we miss them but would never move back.

We keep our up north house. Can fly up stay when ever we want, take care of obligations and I really enjoy the snow, and summer on a lake that you can swim in without a gator biting you. Two houses work well for us

From Associated Press

It was so cold in South Florida that iguanas fell from their perches in trees in suburban Miami. The reptiles became immobile when temperatures dipped below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius).

Now we know what cold is.....

Moved here in 2009 after 61 years on Long Island. Worked & was a Firemen in the snow & cold. Don't miss it one damn bit. The Fuel oil, electric, taxes , traffic & potholes are all gone now. Life here is a piece of cake and if I have to go back north for an Emergency it's a very short stay. Yea it's been cold for a short while but it'll be over soon and then it'll be back to shorts and outdoor activities again !

Thinking of moving to the Villages and all set to go and even left my job, but there is this thought that maybe I will miss the NY winters. Maybe not the snow too much.
If you look at the morning temps here in The Villages yesterday and today, you will feel right at home. Only difference is the daytime temps are better. This is very unusual weather for Fl., but it happens. COME ON DOWN!

:1rotfl: Thanks.

The last winter in CT was Hurricane Sandy and 3 1/2 feet of snow in one snowfall. Don't miss it one bit. In general, most people as they get older, get tired of the winters and dealing with snowy/icy weather conditions.

If one could afford it to keep two homes that would be ideal. Get away from the hot summers here and the winters in NY.

IMHO - Everyone is hesitant to make a big move but most people in TV, have not regretted it one bit. I know I love it here and would never move back to the Northeast.

For three years we tried to have a family reunion but with the kids scattered all over the country, it was impossible for them to find the time agreeable to all and their children.

My wife and I bought in The Villages when we were 49 years old. We both quit our respective professional jobs and just picked up and moved here. After moving here, we both easily found jobs that would take us through to our retirement ages. We spent 50 years shoveling the 3'-4' of snow that you could get overnight in our hometown of Oswego, NY at the east end of Lake Ontario. I don't miss that life one bit. I wouldn't care if I ever saw another snow flake for the rest of my life.

I give you credit to just pick up and leave your jobs before you can retire. It worked out for you I see. That was courageous!
