Last winter in January and February it got into the upper 70s everyday and in the 80s most days and seeing the sun everyday was a bonus, it's those glommy dark days that get you down, I need sunshine.

My wife and I have 10 days off after Christmas, and if there's no snow in the Northwoods OR on the slopes in Colorado, option #3 is going to be hook up the AT and roll south...
The question is...how FAR south...
Slopes in Colorado are already open..

After being here for 10 years, I now feel like when it is 70 degrees I gotta wear jeans, and get the chill if we go boating!!! Anything below 70 and well it is jacket and sweater weather.

Doesn't take long to get spoiled does it, it gets into the 60s and you'd think you're back in "real" winter.

My in-laws own several commercial properties in Naples. We used to go down every winter for a week. No boat down there tho! But I LOVE it there!!

Florida is a great place to be in the winter for sure and being able to boat year round is awesome. But after being in florida since 2001 it sure does seem cold when it gets below 70 but it beats snow and cold weather and day. I love florida and would not move out of the state unless I had too.
