Re: Question for the snowbirds...

i have an apartment and business in southern california AND a home and a business here. i do NOT want to move permanently to southern california, even though my s/o is there. i really like being able to enjoy 4 seasons AND a more affordable cost of living. he says he would never survive the winters here. LOL....typical southern california man.....if it gets below 70 he is COLD.

Re: Question for the snowbirds...

I was just going to suggest perhaps a move south but not so far south as Florida? There are states that have much milder winters but aren't as hot and humid as Florida in the summer?

Re: Question for the snowbirds...

For the record....in my post #9 I was referring to Northern California.

I have friends who live in Hilton Head SC - it gets just as hot and humid in the summer and yet they have to put up with winter weather as well. Not for me!

When you say ""winter weather"" you are certainly not referring to 8 ft. snow drifts.

Winter weather?? Hardly. Nothing more than a rare cold morning.

I am referring to it being cold enough to have ice and snow. And it is cold all winter - they have to change out to winter clothes - we in south Fl get a few cold days a year only.

Re: Question for the snowbirds...

Florida gets chilly at night in the winter. It's not severe winter weather, but it does get cold.

I have family that lives in Las Vegas. They get down into the 40s sometimes at night in the winter.

Once we get our kids through college, we will wind up living somewhere where we won't ever have to see snow again!!

That's what I thought.

Well, you all should go to SC for the winters then. Fl gets too crowded in the season anyway.
