Our weather here in northern Florida is pretty damn nice for 9 out of 12 months. Summers are miserable, but I figure we get more out-of-door time than most places.

Not Me! (I lived in south florida for nearly 10 years then Central Florida for almost another 10...)
I went from my air conditioned Condo to my air conditioned car to my air conditioned job back to my airconditioned car back to my air conditioned home.
I was NEVER outside, unless i was sitting on a raft in the Gulf of Mexico....with cold drink in hand...
If i walked for exercise, i mall walked, in the air conditioning or went to the air conditioned gym down the block...
i get more outside time up here in 6 months than i ever did in a years time there in Florida....outside gardening every single day from may thru october, and never a bead of sweat.... take walks and hikes every day thru the woods and near the river, around here...then all the outside festivals all summer long are fun too, never too hot...all the shops on maine street in the small coastal towns are walked by us as well....just so much to do outside....EXCEPT, going in the ocean....only the canadians can go in the water up here and think it is warm....turn blue in 5 minutes of being in it....lakes are warmer, but no ocean or bay is warm enough in my humble opinion, then again, i came from 87 degree water in the gulf of mexico in the month of october!

i am more afraid of the black flies than the black bears up here and if i ever leave here and go back home to florida to live, the black flies will be the single reason for doing such!!!!!
Get rid of the liberals and the illegal aliens.People that have no respect for private property ruined CA years ago. Not exactly sure what it will take to return it back to the wonderful state that it used to be.
And THAT is exactly what I plan on doing. I spent four years in Phoenix, which I consider FRYING PAN HOT to the point of WHY DOES ANYONE LIVE HERE, and then moved up to Reno, Nevada, which had a short, mild winter, and not that hot of a summer, and I considered it about perfect. Except... Reno had EARTH QUAKES! Screw that. So back to Wisconsin after eight years out west, and now it's colder than HELL! So I know what you're going through Care. Check the national weather, and you'll see that usually Wisconsin is right in the middle of the coldest temps in the nation. So yeah, this summer I'm finding me a nice, 25 to 30 foot camper with a bathroom and washer and dryer in it, and after the holidays are done around January 3rd, I'm hooking that camper trailer up to the truck and I'm off for down south. I lived in Tampa, Florida for almost four years, and I'm sure looking forward to checking out some old stomping grounds and getting the HELL OTTA THE COLD!the 70's is lovely, that's what it is like around here for the 4 months of summer...
idealy, i would like to live in Florida near my parents in the winter months and here in maine during the spring, summer and fall....
90 degrees with 90% humidity for 5 straight months is WHY I do not live in the south year round.

Really cold weather I like, but frozen water lines (especially copper ones) are a nasty side effect. Back in 92 here in Indiana we had 30 below for about 4 days straight, day and night. Take Care.

so you were a master sergeant per your avatar?

It was 30 below for 4 days straight here in 92? Why can't I remember that?
Let's see, I was working at TGI Fridays then........what month was it?

That was my first best effort at coming up with a date. Let's see, we hadn't added the garage yet which we did in 94, and we parked outside so it could've been as late as 94.
I remember going out every few hours and starting the engine on my van, and keeping the engine covered; but we just stayed in and didn't leave the house here in Ellettsville until it warmed up some. Not sure of the month but expect that it was late January. I wasn't aware TGIF had been built yet...the one near Lowes?

I note that much of the South is also dealing with exceptionally cold weather this year.
Ya'll have my sympathies, too.
Whenever and whereever we find our weather much much colder than the norm, problems arise from it.
Proably too late to buy Orange Juice futures, but there's a fairly good example of what I mean.
