Re: adnohr
I still own the house in the Upper Peninsula, but with the escalating cost to heat it was over $450 a month late September to early May. The weather is nice in the summer, but I grew tired of shoveling six inches or more off the car every day. In the winter, it was common to get nearly 400 inches of snow a year. When I was younger, that wasn't an issue, but as a paramedic, I picked up far too many people who suffered heart attacks shoveling snow.
We love the UP, but a hurricane is an occasional problem. Heavy snow was an everyday problem. We may decide to winter here this year summer there.
I'm always up for an adventure, but right now, we are enjoying the weather here. My wife says she always knows where I am because she can hear me mumbling about something.
I was never afraid of the storms that come into Florida, just like I never really worried about the winters in Michigan. We had a chance to buy this place for 15% of its actual value, so we grabbed it.
Besides, it makes for good conversations.
Take care and stay safe.

Maybe the weather was better up north where you were living before?
