We just were in Tv in January, and they had 80 degree weather!
But people said that is Not normal, so yes, bring both just in case....

So we will be loading up the suv but it will take a while as the current wind chill is -9 degrees. Although we are located in a secondary snow belt we have really lucked with just a trace of snow, Lake effect is a funny feature of living in northeast ohio as 10-20 miles northeast of us in the primary snow belt they have received 8-16 inches of snow in the last few days. Can't wait to be able to take off the gloves and the earmuffs!

the best sales people are those that live there
 
I don't know if it has been said, but whenever you can, talk to the natives...you really get a sense of the place from them and most love talking about their beloved hometown and their happy, happy lives there. Also you can rent a faster golf cart which I would definitly do in January!!!

Bring both. If you are going to look at houses, look with the Villages and an outside realtor. Eat at Cody's. Great steaks! Go to Katie Belles, beautiful. Drive around and look at all neighborhoods. I moved here 2 months ago from Ohio. I don't feel I looked at enough houses to see all the different styles. A few years ago they let people really change up their homes when building. Now they don't. I have seen (after I purchased my home) some floor plans inside houses that looked alike from the outside really neat on the inside. Don't rush. Take your time to find a house. You will love the Villages. It is wonderful. Have a great visit!

It always amazes me that people get blown away by the beauty of TV and whip out their chackbook happily. Congrats on your new purchase.

I guess you had a good time. :smiley:
