When I moved down south to Florida my family was shocked.
We all lived up north most of our lives.
So why would I leave? I hated the northern weather. Most of the year was cold. We had snow, ice, hail, and severe windchill for months on end. The summer season wasn’t warm enough to warrant air conditioning. I didn’t like the potlicis, town, and where I was going. So down south I went. No more state insurance, inspections for cars, democratic views, and cold weather. I now enjoy St. Petersburg, Florida. I was originally shocked by the weather. I knew it would be warmer, but not that warm. The first thing I did was upgrade my cooling situation. The AC plan just felt kind of small for what I needed. Rather than a ductless mini split, I sprung for a central device. I got heating with it as part of the deal. I kind of thought I would never use my heating system. It is Florida after all. Well jokes on me. I am so glad that I have heating capability. I think if the system wasn’t both heating and cooling I wouldn’t have gotten heat later on. The Florida winter is brief but does get cold. There are times where it can dip below freezing. Weather in the 50s is more common though. After the cold nights on end, having a good heater is really nice to come home to. It is not at all like up north. It is just cold enough to give me a break from the heat. But it is not so cold that I need to wear heavy duty clothes.
