Winter is why we purchased a second home 25 miles from WDW. Never slipped and fell on the heat.
If only DH's job would let him take off the entire winter so we could be snowbirds!

The great thing about where I live is that I can move almost anywhere and have it be cheaper (and I hate winter and snow and I’m already looking forward to April).Move to Austin & you'll be happy. Well, until you see how expensive it is here...
And this is where I sit on snowy weekdays.
Still waiting impatiently for winter to arrive...
Here we are, staring down another 3-4 months of cold, ice, snow, wind, and miserable weather. Every year, for the 14 years I've lived here, I have sworn it was the last winter here. And yet, here I am, still anchored to this area. Still freezing, still aching, still dreading each low temp.
Hear my declaration now: this time next year I will be packing a moving truck and heading for a warmer climate!
Anyone else hate winter a dreaming of sunnier skies?
But I passed out from the heat and hit the ground at Busch Gardens Tampa.Winter is why we purchased a second home 25 miles from WDW. Never slipped and fell on the heat.
I have always lived in SE Pennsylvania and LOVED winter growing up!!!
I loved sledding, the snow in pine trees, snow days, ect.
The past couple of years however, I have HATED winter. I was sick constantly all winter last year, and it has already started up this year. I think part of this, is that I grew up in Chester County, PA which still has a good bit of forest as well as behind a park where we could sled and stuff.
Partially, I attribute my dislike to being much closer to Philadelphia now, so snow is not nearly as pretty as it used to be.
I have begun considering moving to the ATL area or South/Central FL. This is not primarily due to the weather, but it certainly helps!!
Philly native here, lived in literally every county in the area...Bucks (born and raised), Philly itself, Chester, Montco, Delaware, Berks county. In Atlanta now, for the past 3.5 years. Weather is much better here, but life here is very, very different than it is in SE PA.
I love living somewhere that has 4 distinct seasons. I'm in Northeast Ohio and it was in the 50's today so not bad for December.
We are trying to decide where to snowbird to, leaving Canada's winter months behind. Dgs will be 12 next winter, and on his own after having had us (Grandparents) to get him on and off the school bus. The states of Florida, and Carolina (Myrtle Beach) hold our interest. The desire is for warmth, but more so to avoid a slip, and fall!
Hi from the southtowns! And I totally agree with you. We got the 7 feet in 24 hours & were snowed in for 3 days. While 20 minutes away, nothing. I hate winter, but I think hurricaines, tornadoes & wild fires would be much worse.
It can snow Thursday. But it better stop so we can get out of here to Disney World on Saturday morning!!
