Day High 95 ----- real feel 105

Night Low 74

Not near as far South as TV (hope to be soon though), but have seen it 75 at Christmas here.

It will be cold for a short while then have a warm spell. That fluctuates during the main part of winter. Probably makes the chilly days seem colder, but I'm with you. . . give me warmth! Once we get moved down, will probably make a few KW trips too! :highfive:

Will be so glad when we can set a definite date to be frogs. But in the meantime, congrats to you!! :thumbup:

:22yikes: I'm Seasonal so I've never been in TV during the summer months. Do people still golf and play pickleball during the day? I'd guess there are a lot of Frogs taking trips up north to visit family and friends?

Play 18 holes 3 times per week. Once in the morning(which is more humid to me) and twice in the afternnon around 1 pm. Drink plenty of water and Gatorade.

I love summers here. Tennis in the morning, water aerobics in the afternoon, and the balmy breeze at the squares in the evening. Life doesn't get much better.

I've been living in South Florida (Naples area) for the last seven years. Guess what?? When its cold in the Villages, it's also cold in south florida...even Key West. I wouldn't trade the temp's in TV for the temps up in Wisconsin. Winter or summer. Plus....south Florida is way too crowded.

I've always been an outdoors kind of guy and keep a tan year round, but I guess that is adding to the problem as well.

At any rate, the main thing is to adapt and adjust accordingly! It's TV for us!!:thumbup:

I spent 3 years in Fairbanks, Alaska and in summer we could hit in the 90's. Sunshine 24/7. Needed aluminum foil on windows to sleep at nite. Now winter was other end of spectrum. 70 BELOW 0 . Presently in Michigan, and regardless of what you may hear, Michigan is still a great place to live and vacation, ----BUT (darn it) Bottom line--- Florida (long term and even at its coldest) is better!!! But, take the Alaska cruise. Still a neat place.
