Especially in the summer, and during hurricanes.
Yup, and if it’s not the hurricanes, it’s the normal humidity.
The only thing I miss is the seafood.

When I lived in NYC, I heard the following:
When it's 100 degrees in NYC, it's 78 in California.
When it's 10 degrees in NYC, it's 78 in California.
There are 8 million interesting people in NYC.
There's 78 in California!
Note to forum members from California, you're among the 78!

Winter? In Florida?

According to the
According to the calender yes, but it's a warmer one than on the northern tier.
I’ve never known FL to have a winter longer than 3 weeks, lol. Like this past week, temps in the 40s and folks on the beach in sweaters and flip flops.

FL really doesn't have winter weather except with some freezes, so it really doesn't qualify.
Really most of the SE doesn't have a real winter either. If you want to expecrience a real winter in the lower 48 go to northern MN, northern WI & the UP of MI. Then there's the dakotas and WY but that's a different type of winter.

Yes I’m well aware (currently living in WI, born/raised in FL)... FL ‘moist’ is a special kind of moist though. Just like how the wind in Chicago is a special kind of wind.

Lived in Duluth for ~3 winters. Winters in MT are like living in FL.

Winter in North America is nothing to me anymore after spending a winter in Moscow, -30C daytime and -60C night with the wind howling. They didn't do the "feels like" readings there at that time which I was grateful for.

My pic is from Maine where that year we had 348” cumulative snow from Oct - May. Rather brutal cold time
Oh we’ve had winters like that here. I went out 2 winters ago to pick up a gun at my FFL. I believe it was -35 at the time, work was cancelled due to life threatening wind chill. I survived the trip to the FFL and gave my new gun a Russian name in honor of the cold @ss weather.
I can deal with the cold, what I can’t deal with is ice covered roads.

Ice doesn’t bother me, much...just go slow. At 20mph, even if you end up ditching it, it’s pretty gentle, and you can often get back out on your own.
What I hate is loss of visibility...that feeling when you can’t see beyond the inside of your windshield is one of the worst, in my experience...
Yup I’ve slid off the road going only 20 mph... and it was no fun. Its like you can never tell which way it’s going to turn out. Then there’s the other drivers who seem to not be bothered at all by the ice and snow, lol. They still drive the speed limit and slide all over the road around you.
I know what you mean about visibility. What bothers me is when the sky and the road are both white.
