However, lately, whenever I see a snowy scene on TV or in a movie I want so badly to be there walking in it or playing in it, etc. Suddenly I'm thinking "Winter wasn't so bad. It was rather nice really."

Anyone else love our tropical/subtropical weather but still get nostalgic for winter?
Personally I couldn't live without snow. Florida's heat is too much for me. To each their own huh?

Define FL: high heat and unbearable humidity most of the year. Devastating hurricanes and wind. Sinkholes that swallow up whole houses with people in them. schools that are just ok - no top schools. flat landscape, barely any hills. bugs on steriods, but particularly palmetto bugs that could carry away a small dog and don't forget lovebugs. Daily thunderstorms in the summer when you are on your boat or on the beach.

Snow in New England was never a problem. Generally, one day and then the roads are all plowed. if it's cold, put on a sweater. In FL, if it hot, you have to run inside and crank up the A/C. At some point there are no more clothes to take off!
Sweater? More like heavy coat, scarf, earmuffs, heavy socks, boots, gloves. I do not miss those days. Oh yes, that darn black ice.
