Do not discuss other member's occupation, their income or their living conditions. It is not revelant to the original topic.

Hate speech, racism or bashing of ANY sort will NOT be tolerated. Rude posts will be removed and infractions issued. This includes bashing other members

Stay on topic. Attempts to hi-jack threads by switching topics or going off topic will be deleted and infractions issued. This is not a chat room - when people hi-jack threads by posting messages that are of interest to only few people, the threads often stop being useful discussions of initial topics.

Florida summers are awesome. From what I've seen it's the ideal place to be if one is physically fit.

I would rather be in a NYC winter. NYC is usually 5-15 degrees warmer than Chicago in the winter and on average has 53 fewer days with the minnimum temp below freezing (Chicago 131; NYC 78) I also really hate hot humid weather.

New York City's winter:

Cold weather with avg. high temperatures of upper 30s and low 40s and lows of upper 20s and low 30s. However, temperatures could for few days be as high as 50s and 60s, or be as low as 10s and 20s, or windchill near 0 (rare).
Both rain, snow & sleet could occur as precipitation. Snowfall of ~ 24 inches/year, but usually does not last for long. Despite winter time, most days are bright & sunshine.
I lived in Florida long enough to realize that the colder climates are actually preferably to stifling heat/humidity.

blammo! I was going to post something similar... but thanks for pulling up those stats... You better get out of there before the winter Let's not even talk about wind chill. NYC and mid atlantic coastal winters aren't bad as the rest of the "north country"
