I think we're in for a COLD winter - got our first snow on the ground here in Indiana - last couple of years here we've had a very mild December - hardly any snow at all and warmer days - it's freezing here and getting even colder next week - I don't think I can handle this through Feb/March.

@hoosieroriginal Seriously I understand. I grew up in Pa. I hated it. I moved here 14 yrs ago and it is the best thing I ever did. Stay warm! I have so many clothes on I can't move. I feel like a Mummy.

@riley1 I think it is rude of them don't you? The only good thing about Florida, is it will be 80 again in a few days. I feel for you!

Boil a pot of water to add humidity (helps complections and furniture too) and add a stick of cinnamon and/or fruit peelings.

I don't need an Artic chill to be comfortable but I hate, hate warm winter weather. Did a February Caribbean cruise and could hardly wait to get home. Rode home from the airport in Philly with the window open. I think what we get in Albuquerque is just about perfect, although it has gotten down to as low as - 14° (that's minus) since I've lived here. Very unusual.

@Kachina624 I am total opposite. I love the warm humid air. When I lived in Pa and it would get hot and humid , everyone would be complaining how hot it was, and I loved it. THe last thing my mother said to me before she passed was "I am so cold" She was always cold like me. That stuck with me and that is when I decided to leave.

My father (Iloved him dearly) but he was so cheap, he would sit watching TV with his coat and hat on. Funny thing is that he wasn't poor.

@ECBG Oh what a good idea. I would have never thought about fruit peelings or cinnamon sticks. Bet it smells good too! Thanks!

.I've spent my whole life in the Northeast, and I love the four seasons. Sure too much snow, and excessive humidity is a pain, but for the most part it is beautiful.

It's a whole lot colder up north than it is in Florida. I have found our weather always seems to reflect what they get but just not as bad. My area matched the record lowest high temp. that was set in 2010 on this date. We were here that winter also - staying in our camper - but we didn't get here until January.

We still haven't had to turn on the heat so that is good. Our house seems to stay pretty comfortable.

There is something for everyone - I grew up in Pittsburgh and I hated the winter - it's even worse since I now have bad arthritis. I'll take the tropics any day. I hated cold and snow and do not miss it at all.

@BalletBabe I lived in Houston over 30 years and the main reason I left was the climate. Too hot and humid; I never got used to it and hated it. Moved to West Texas and liked that much better. It was hot but dry, as it is in Albuquerque in the summer. Winters are pretty chilly and we usually get a little snow.

I live in Ohio and my joints ache when it is this cold...

OP, you should live in Iowa or the Dakotas. Florida cold is a spring day for the rest of us.

@Kachina624 My son is in Fort Worth and he loves it but I have a friend in Houston and she hates it. I guess we are all different. I think it is nice when people have a choice and like where they live.
